Within each kidney, blood capillaries and structures called glomerular capsules are made of an epithelial tissue specifically su

ited for diffusion and filtration. Which epithelium would be best suited for this function?

Answer: The glomerulus is filled with blood via an afferent arteriole and it is ensheathed in visceral SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM.

Explanation: Glomerular wall consists of fenestrated endothelium, thick basal lamina and podocytes' pedicels separated by filtration slits of controllable width. These permit the filtration of water solutes into a capsular space between glomerular epithelium and the parietal squamous epithelium of Bowman's capsule.

Answer:

Simple  Squamous epithelium

Explanation:

These are flat cells with single layer thick. They are extremely flat with large surface ares to volume ratio. Therefore they are found in lining of organs and tissues whose functions  involved rapid movement or transport of substances across the  walls.e,g Alveolar Sac, Lining of the Bowman's  capsule of the Nephron.

When viewed under microscope, they appear like flat scales,with nuclei which can be flat, oblong or elliptical in shape.

The blood in the Glomerular filtrate is separated from the Bowman's capsular space by the endothelial lining of the Glomerular capillaries,basement membrane, and the simple  squamous epithelial cells which forms the innermost lining of Bowman's capsule.

These  squamous epithelial cells have some finger- like projections called  Podocytes with gaps in between.  The gaps allow  the passage of relatively large molecules;  e.g plasma protein, but  these are restricted with other large molecules,  by the innermost epithelial lining while allowing  rapid diffusion and filtration of glucose, amino acid. urea ions and other materials through.

One might suggest that transposons are more likely to insert in noncoding regions of the genome because they are
topjm [15]

Answer:

they are evolutionary neutral

Explanation:

Transposons are genetic mobile elements that move into the genome by means of cut-paste and copy-paste mechanisms. In consequence, transposons are known to produce mutations in the inserted genomic sequences.

Non-coding DNA regions have been generally assumed to be evolutionary neutral, it means that they might resist genetic polymorphisms (such as, for example, those caused by the insertion of transposon elements) and don't have direct effects on the phenotype of the organism. However, it is important to note that recent evidence supports the idea that noncoding sequences play important regulatory roles, thereby mutations in these genomic regions may have a deleterious effect on the organism.

Describe the events taking place during interphase ?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Interphase is a non-dividing phase.

Explanation:

Interphase is a non-dividing phase which is a phase between two successive Mitosis phase. It is a preparatory phase during which cell prepares for the next cell division and grows to the same size as their mother cell. Duplication of DNA content happens in this phase,. Interphase is further divided into three sub-phases- i) G1 phase , which is interval between mitosis and beginning of DNA replication; ii) Systhesis phase (S-Phase), where DNA synthesis takes place; iii) G2 phase or Second growth phase, where formation of RNA and proteins continues, it also prepares the cell to undergo mitosis.

Cell walls contain peptidoglycan.<br> a. Archaea<br> b. Bacteria<br> c. Both Archaea and Bacteria
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Peptidoglycan is a polymer that made of amino acids and sugar. This forms a layer of mesh like structure which is found on the outer side of the plasma membrane.

This is found in most of the bacteria which forms the cell wall. The sugar component  that contains the alternating residues of N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetyl muramic acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option B
