True or false: If we extracted DNA from thyroid and neural tissues, we would find the CALCA gene in both types of cells.

Biology
1 answer:
Elanso [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The calcitonin/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CALCA) gene is used to encode different peptide sequences (i.e., calcitonin hormone, calcitonin-related peptides and katacalcin) through alternative RNA splicing. These peptides have different functions. Calcitonin is a hormone mainly produced by cells of the thyroid gland, which is involved in the control of levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood. Moreover, katacalcin is a peptide synthesized from the same precursor of calcitonin (and therefore also mainly produced by cells of the thyroid gland), which is implicated in both calcium regulation and skeletal maintenance. Finally, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a peptide mainly produced by sensory nerves (type Aδ fibers ), which is involved in pain pathways. The CALCA gene has attracted considerable attention from geneticists because it is specifically expressed in neuroendocrine tissues in normal conditions and abnormally induced in septic conditions (i.e., during the body's extreme response to an infection).

Why are girls more likely than boys to be victims of cyberbullying
podryga [215]

Girls are more verbal than boys and more likely to use words to hurt than fists. Previous studies have found that girls are more likely to cyberbully than boys while boys are more likely to be physical. When you look at overall bullying, girls are still significantly higher than boys (but most of that increase comes from the online or by text).

Hopefully this helped! :D

When assessing tina’s uninjured ankle, what range of motion would you expect of this joint?
xeze [42]
In human body, a joint is defined as a location where two or more bones meet and connect. The range of motion of joints refers to the measurement of the maximum distance and direction a particular joint can move. Most joints are connected in such a way that they allow movements in specific directions only.
The quantity of movement through a normal range for each joint is measured in degrees using an instrument called goniometer. Scientists had established standard range of motion values for most joints.
For ankle joint, downward movement of the joint, which is called plantar flexion ranges from zero to 50 degrees while the movement upward, which is called dorsiflexion ranges from zero to 20 degrees.

Unicellular organisms excrete waste by _____. osmosis diffusion active transport all of the above
Arturiano [62]

Answer:The answer is  diffusion.

Explanation: Unicellular organisms excrete waste by diffusion.

Unicellular organisms are organisms that have only one cell. They are called single cell organisms because all their life processes such as reproduction, feeding, digestion, and excretion, occur in only one cell. An example of unicellular organism is paramecium.

Diffusion is the inactive movement of molecules  from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.
