Answer: a) relies on the uptake of an external signal molecule from the cell
Explanation: Signal transduction is known as the transmitting of any signal of a molecule from exterior of cell to interior of cell.This technique is termed as critical is taken care of successful transmission of signal effectively and positive result and reception is done by the cell surface receptors.It is also known as cell signalling. Thus,option(a) is the correct option of all.
In human gene therapy, a genetically modified virus (a.k.a. a viral vector) can alter the genetic variation of a cell, but not all viral vectors do.
The process often begins with the delivery of or creation of a segment of viral double stranded DNA (containing the gene you want to introduce). Then typically an enzyme known as an integrase cuts the ends of the segment of viral DNA and also cuts open the cell's DNA. Then the viral DNA is integrated/ inserted into the cell's DNA. The connecting ends are ligated together and adjusted so that the nucleotide base pairs match up.
This in the future may affect the gene pool for instance if the viral DNA (your gene) was inserted in the middle of another gene or important regulatory sequence of the cell DNA, and this alteration may be passed on into offspring and become present in the gene pool, which could have bad effects.
The effects on the gene pool really depends on what the virus ends up doing. For example, it may fix the function of a damaged gene which is the goal, and allow for a working gene to be in the gene pool, which would be good. The problem with gene therapy is that it's difficult to predict 100% what the virus will do every time it is given to a patient.
But it's very important to consider that it will only affect the gene pool if the virus is able to enter and alter germ cells (reproductive cells). If the virus, enters somatic cells (regular body cells) this will not be passed on to future generations. So viruses can be designed to avoid germ cells and avoid this gene pool issue. Also, some viral vectors use viruses that do not integrate their DNA, the cells just express the viral DNA (create the desired protein from it) and over time the viral DNA is degraded/ lost which wouldn't pose this threat.
This is long, but I hope it helped!
The nucleus? budding is when two cells reproduce asexually
Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is B) Advantageous traits become more common in a population.
Theory of natural selection was given by Darwin. This is one of the mechanisms of evolution.
According to this theory, organisms that are better adapted to their environmental conditions survive and increase their population by reproduction. So they pass the advantageous trait to the next generation. In other words, it reflects the survival of the fittest.
Due to this, the advantageous trait becomes more common in the population.
Thus, the correct option is B)
Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is transformed into ATP. -- It uses oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide and takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. -- It helps maintain homeostasis by transforming energy that can be used to do cellularwork.
