<u>Answer</u>: Option 4 The genes in each type of cell are being expressed differently

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Both skin cells and muscle cells are somatic cells i.e the cells that make up the body parts.
  • Since, both of them are somatic cells they both contain the <em>same number of chromosomes</em> which  in case of humans is  23 pairs.
  • The set of genes present in each type of cell in the body is the same and therefore, both muscle cell and skin cells have the same genes.
  • The reason why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same is that even though these cells contain the <em>same genes</em>, there is <em>differential expression of genes</em> in these cells.
  • Differential expression of genes basically means that different combination of genes are activated in a cell which plays a role of defining the purpose of the cell.
  • This means that the set of genes that are activated in the skin cells are different from that of the muscle cells.
  • As the <em>genes are being expressed differently</em> in the muscle and skin cells, both these cells acquire different characteristics and thus, look different and perform different functions.

So out of all the options, option 4 is the correct one.

) is every minimum bottleneck tree of g a minimum spanning tree of g? prove or give a counter example
mote1985 [20]

The answer is false. To explain further, let G have vertices {v1, v2, v3, v4}, with ends between each pair of vertices, and with the mass on the edge from vi to vj equal to I + j. Then each tree has a bottle neck edge mass of as a minimum of 5, so the tree containing of a track through vertices v3, v2, v1,v4 is a least bottleneck tree. It is not a least spanning tree, though, subsequently its total mass is greater than that of the tree with edges from v1 to every single vertex.

Which process temporarily disrupts homeostasis because it increases an already high concentration of chemicals in the cell?
devlian [24]

When cells in a body are not working properly and normally, they cause disruption in the body homeostasis.

Homeostatis is characterized as balance in the body but when there is any disturbance in the body, it breaks down the balance and cause imbalance. For example in the case of diabetes in which body fails to maintain the good amount of glucose in blood which results in imbalance the body which is why diabetic patients are asked to maintain and monitor their body sugar level to maintain homeostatis.

Indicate whether each of the following occurs mainly in G1 phase (G), S phase (S), or G2 phase (H) of the cell cycle. Your answe
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Correct choice should be:

"SGSG"

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of G1, S, G2 and M phase. The former three phases include the interphase and M phase is the dividing phase of cell . G1 prepares cell for DNA synthesis. S phase is the phase where DNA replication takes place. G2 phase prepares cell for cell division or M phase.

G1 phase preceeds replication or S phase and G1 phase licences DNA replication.

During other phases of cell cycle, ORC complex masks origin of replication. ORC phosphorylation takes place at S phase, which removes this omplex and unmasks origin of repication site so that replication machinery can bind to it.

DNA helicase activation: S phase

DNA helicase deposition on DNA at the replication origins: G phase (actually G1)

ORC phosphorylation: S phase

Licensing of replication origins : G phase (actually G1)

Hence correct choice should be:

SGSG
