1. What does your body do to infected cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: White blood cells form to fight off cell infections.

Explanation:

1. Your body produces white blood cells which fight against infected cells, depends on what type of cell it is and how infected it is.

2. The immune response to a viral infection is primarily generated by a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes; cells that are mostly localized in ‘lymphoid tissues’ such as the lymph nodes or tonsils. However, the number of lymphocytes that can recognize and react against any individual type of virus is initially very small. This is particularly true for a novel virus such as SARS-CoV-2, which people have never encountered before. In order to produce an effective immune response, the small number of lymphocytes that can recognize a virus must become more abundant. Even though lymphocytes proliferate quickly it still takes several days before there are sufficient cells available to fight back against the infection. During this period the virus may also be spreading rapidly, so there is a race between the virus and the immune system that may determine the final outcome, in terms of recovery.

A biologist treats a cell with a certain chemical that inhibit the cell ability to synthesise DNA
Tomtit [17]

If the cell treated with a chemical that inhibits DNA synthesis is treated to undergo the process of the cell cycle, the phase that will be affected is the S-phase of interphase.

<h3>What is interphase?</h3>

The interphase stage of cell division is the resting stage between two successive divisions.

The interphase is further grouped into three phases namely:

  • G1 phase
  • S-phase or synthesis phase
  • G2 phase

The synthesis phase of interphase is the stage where new DNA strand is synthesized, hence, if the cell treated with a chemical that inhibits DNA synthesis is treated to undergo the process of the cell cycle, the phase that will be affected is the S-phase of interphase.

This can occur when part of a population of a species becomes separated from the remainder, they may over time evolve different
Basile [38]
This definition above refers to the geographic isolation.
It means exactly what it says in the definition - one species is left behind from the rest of the population, and it stays in that particular location, evolving and changing from the species and population it was once a part of.

Regulatory proteins bind to _____. the operator the lactose-utilization genes the regulatory gene RNA polymerase transcription f
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Regulatory gene

Explanation:

Transcription is one of the major processes that occurs during gene expression. It is the transfer of the genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA. A strand of mRNA is made using complementary base pairs.

However, there is need for gene expression to be regulated.

Gene regulation refers to the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural & chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to specific DNA elements to regulate transcription. These proteins that influences transcription by binding to specific nucleotide sequences (DNA segments/gene) are referred to as REGULATORY PROTEINS and those involved in regulating transcription of genes are called TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS.

Regulatory proteins controls the rate and manner of gene expression by binding to specific genes, thus, making it easy or hard for RNA polymerase (enzyme that attaches to DNA to synthesize mRNA molecule) to bind to the promoter of that gene.

Transcription factors (regulatory proteins) that promote gene transcription are called ACTIVATORS while those that decrease are called REPRESSORS.

10 facts about mutations
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

4 types of mutation:

Germline mutations occur in gametes. Somatic mutations occur in other body cells.

Chromosomal alterations are mutations that change chromosome structure.

Point mutations change a single nucleotide.

Frameshift mutations are additions or deletions of nucleotides that cause a shift in the reading frame.

3 more:

Over a lifetime our DNA can undergo changes or 'mutations?' in the sequence of bases?, A, C, G and T.

This results in changes in the proteins that are made.

Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time.
