Describe the structural organization shared by the cilia and flagella?

Biology
1 answer:
arsen [322]3 years ago
8 0

Both flagella and cilia have a common structural arrangement of microtubules referred to as "9 + 2 array."   A single cilium or flagellum is made up of string of nine microtubule doublets that surround a single microtubule doublet in the center.

Flagella are hair-like structures which are usually long and they extend from the plasma membrane. They are used to propel or move an entire cell, for example sperm cell.

Cilia are short  hair-like structures that are used to move entire cells. An example is paramecia. Cilia can also be found lining the outer surface of cells such as those of the respiratory tract where they move trapped particles up toward the nose and mouth.

Describe the steps in which a gene in passed from parent to offspring. Make sure to describe how the gene is duplicated, separat
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells; this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Prior to each mitotic division, a copy of every chromosome is created; thus, following division, a complete set of chromosomes is found in the nucleus of each new cell. Indeed, apart from random mutations, each successive duplicate cell will have the same genetic composition as its parent, due to the inheritance of the same chromosome set and similar biological environment. This works well for replacing damaged tissue or for growth and expansion from an embryonic state. Because the genes contained in the duplicate chromosomes are transferred to each successive cellular generation, all mitotic progeny are genetically similar. However, there are exceptions. For example, there are genetic variations that arise in clonal species, such as bacteria, due to spontaneous mutations during mitotic division. Furthermore, chromosomes are sometimes replicated multiple times without any accompanying cell division. This occurs in the cells of Drosophila larvae salivary glands, for example, where there is a high metabolic demand. The chromosomes there are called polytene chromosomes, and they are extremely large compared to chromosomes in other Drosophila cells. These chromosomes replicate by undergoing the initial phases of mitosis without any cytokinesis (Figure 2). Therefore, the same cell contains thick arrangements of duplicate chromosomes side by side, which look like strands of very thick rope. Scientists believe that these chromosomes are hyper-replicated to allow for the rapid and copious production of certain proteins that help larval growth and metamorphosis

Greeley [361]

Your answers are going to be: Will succeed, Will reevaluate, and Will create.

Reason: Had is past tense and Has is present tense. Will is the only word that indicates that the actions <em>will be done</em> in the future instead of having already <em>been done.</em>

A wave front has the form of a
madreJ [45]

The rigth answer is D.

The wavefront or wavefront is an equal phase surface of a wave, i.e., these points have the same travel time from the source. The concept is used to describe the propagation of waves such as sound or electromagnetic radiation (light, radio waves, etc.). In a homogeneous and isotropic medium, in which the waves propagate without deformation, two types of particular waves are distinguished according to whether the wavefronts are spheres (spherical wave) or planes (plane wave).
