Why don't all cells demonstrate the presence of all intracellular structures?

1 answer:

4 0

All the cells don't have all of the intracellular structures because each and every cell do not need each and every intracellular structure. The plant cells have chloroplasts because they need to convert the light energy into chemical energy via the process of photosynthesis, the animal cells, however, have no such need, therefore, the animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Also, the erythrocytes do not have the cellular organelles in them which are present in the other body cells, because there is no need for the cellular organelles in them. The large vacuoles in plant cells is also a great example. The plants need the vacuoles for the metabolic processes, while most animal cells have no need for them.

Which organelles would create a basic protein that could be modified to move chromatids during metaphase?

bija089 [108]

The organelles would create a basic protein that could be modified to move chromatids during metaphase is the histine protien which is secreted from the RNA's.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Histone protein is the protein that is associated with the chromosome. The chromatin fibres get condensed into chromosomes on these proteins.

The chromatin fibre i.e. the DNA fibre gets to wrap itself around the histone octamer which is formed of two units of each of Histone H2A H2B H3 and H4. Then the H1 protein seals the turn and thus a chromosome is formed. These histone are produced in the S-phase of the cell cycle. This protein is transcribed into m-RNA's and then translated into protein.
