What, do you think, would happen, and how it would change our bodies, if all our cells expressed Telomerase enzyme?

Biology

Answer/Explanation:

Telomeres are structures found at the end of the chromosomes. They are protective structures made of repetitive sequences. They protect chromosomes from damage or fusing with other chromosomes. As the cell divides and divides, telomeres shorten. When they reach a critical point, the cell stops dividing, and might even undergo apoptosis (die).

Telomerase is an enzyme that adds nucleotides to telomeres to prevent their shortening. If all our cells expressed telomerase, the telomeres would never reach the critical short length to stop cell division. Therefore, our cells would keep dividing forever!

Explain the statement “Scientific knowledge is the result of debate and conformation within the scientific community.”
spayn [35]

Answer:

What this statement means is that experimentation is not enough, but that true knowledge comes from the analysis of results in a critical and meticulous way

Explanation:

Scientific knowledge is based on the scientific method and the results of the research, however that information is useless if it is not interpreted.

When the results are analyzed by scientists who support the same theories and have the same opinions, the results are not enriched as much as when exposed to different points of view. The debate tests the hypothesis giving rise to more complete answers.

Competition for which resource is a dominant ecological factor in the rocky intertidal?​
Andrew [12]

Answer: In the middle intertidal, barnacles, mussels and seaweeds all compete for space – a precious limited resource. Mussels are generally the dominant competitor on rocky shores and without the presence of predatory seastars would outcompete other taxa and occupy all available space.
