What is the effect of expressing a dominant active form of the small GTPase Rac1 in a human neutrophil

Answer:

The neutrophil forms multiple lamellipodia extensions

Explanation:

Neutrophils are white blood cells (granulocytes) which comprise the first line of defense in the innate immune system. The lamellipodium (in plural, lamellipodia) is a cytoskeletal actin extension found in mobile cells, whose main functions are cell motility and migration.  Rac1 is a member of the Rho GTPase protein family which is involved in actin-myosin cytoskeletal reorganization of neutrophil cells in response to microorganism infections. In this regard, it has been shown that Rac1 controls the initial uncapping of actin ends in order to regulate cytoskeleton dynamics, thus regulating lamellipodia formation. By using mice as models, researchers observed that Rac1 constitutive activation may lead to the formation of multiple lamellipodia in neutrophils.

Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?
Cerrena [4.2K]

The mutation in the somatic cells is known as somatic mutations. As they do not take place in the cells, which give rise to gametes, thus, the mutation is not inherited to the next generation by the sexual means.  

On the other hand, the genetic mutations take place in the germline cells, that is, egg and sperm, because of this the mutations possesses the tendency to get passed on from one generation to another.  

Thus, mutations are only passed on to offspring when they take place in germ cell DNA. The other kind of cells, the somatic cells refers to the rest of the cells in the body and mutations, which takes place in these cells do not get inherited further to the offspring.  

Hence, the correct statements are mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring and mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.
