Answer:
(a) Microfilaments
(b) Microtubules
(c) Microtubules
(d) Microfilaments
(e) Intermediate filaments
(f) Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules
(g) Microfilaments, microtubules
(h) Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules
(i) Microtubules, microfilaments
(j) Microtubules
Explanation:
Microtubules (MTs) are dimers of the protein tubulin (alpha- and beta-tubulin subunits) and they are major components of the cytoskeleton. MTs play diverse cellular roles including, mechanical support (cytoskeleton), transport, motility, chromosome segregation, etc. Microfilaments (MFs) are protein filaments that also form part of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. MFs consist of G-actin monomers assembled in linear actin polymers, and their functions include mechanical support, cytokinesis, changes in cell shape, amoeboid movement, endocytosis and exocytosis, etc. MFs associate with the protein myosin to generate muscle contractions. Actin filaments/MTs assembly from monomeric actin/tubulin is caused due to energy expenditure, where ATP/GTP bound to actin/tubulin is hydrolyzed during polymerization. Finally, intermediate filaments (IFs) are a type of cytoskeletal element composed of a heterogeneous group of structural elements, and they are not found in all eukaryotes. The primary function of the IFs is to contribute to the mechanical support for the plasma membrane where these filaments come into contact with other cells and/or with the extracellular matrix. The IFs are not directly involved in cell movement. All 3 types of cytoskeletal elements (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules) can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy when cells express chimeric MT/IF/MF.–GFP fusion proteins.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Tobacco mosaic virus
Explanation:
Virus can have DNA and RNA as its genetic material. Tobacco mosaic virus has RNA as its genetic material. Protein is not a genetic material because it is a product coded by genetic material.
So a hybrid can be made only when the genetic material of two different organisms is mixed not two different biomolecules. Therefore when RNA from the tobacco mosaic virus is mixed with the protein from a DNA virus the result would be a tobacco mosaic virus only.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Darwin proposed his theory of evolution on the premise of natural selection. According to him, organisms which possess favourable characteristics which enable them to survive in their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.
According to Mendel, the unit of inheritance passed on from parents to offspring are genes. Hence Darwin's factors are Mendel's genes.
If Darwin knew of Mendel's work. It might have influenced his presentation of the idea of passing on favourable characteristics from parents to offspring in the light of genetics.
This would have made Darwin's work to have more empirical backing hence making it more widely accepted.
Answer: Literally everywhere. Having an at least basic level of science helps you in day-to-day situations. For example, cooking. Not only is it crucial to understand the chemical and physical processes when cooking, you should also understand the complexity of how these micro and macromolecule exchange processes affect you and your body. Another prime example is your health, or human processes. You might not realize this, but your body is a plethora of complex, interconnected systems and networks that work hard 24/7 to maintain homeostasis (keep you alive). Understanding how our human physiques conduct themselves helps us gain the knowledge to be able to stay alive.
