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

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!

What term describes the rising and sinking of the lithosphere as material is added or removed?
Margaret [11]
<span>Composition. (We use the crust-mantle-core terminology to describe differences in chemical composition in Earth's interior. We use the lithosphere- asthenosphere terminology to describe differences the physical state and behavior. Note that the boundaries between layers with different compositions do not occur at the same depths as the boundaries between layers with different physical properties. For example, there is a change in composition when passing from crust into mantle. But there is no change in physical state or behavior at this boundary- the uppermost part of the mantle behaves in the same way that the crust does because it is still far enough below its melting temperature to be a rigid, brittle solid. The transition to a softer, more pliable solid occurs further down within the mantle and this change in behavior occurs with no change in composition.)</span>

A bee pollinates flowers social hierarchy social hierarchy territorial imperative territorial imperative competition competition
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

cooperation

Explanation:

Cooperation occurs when living things of different species work together to benefit themselves. The interaction between a bee and a flower is a symbiotic relationship. A symbiotic relationship between two living things is one in which at least one of the parties benefits. The relationship between the bee and the flower is a mutual one because both parties benefit.

While the pollen and nectar serve as food for the bees, the spread of the pollen to other plants assist in the reproduction process.

How do bees benefit from butterflies in the rainforest? i need ASAP
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Like bees and other pollinators, butterflies pick up pollen while they sip a flower's nectar. Once they're off to another plant, the pollen goes with them, helping to pollinate the plant species.
