Answer:
Absorption and secretion would be impossible within the digestive tract.
Explanation:
Epithelium is one of the tissues found in humans. It is classified as either simple or stratified depending on the number of cell layers. Simple epithelial tissues have one layer of cells while stratified have many layers of cells. Based on the shape, epithelial tissues can either be squamous, columnar or cuboidal.
Due to the single-layer of the simple epithelial tissues, they line the walls of secretory or absorptive organs e.g organs of digestive tract. The stratified epithelium is majorly for protective function due to the number of cell layers it possess and not a good type of epithelium for locations where absorption and secretion of substances is common e.g digestive tract.
Hence, if a genetic mutation causes a person's digestive tract to have stratified columnar epithelium instead of simple columnar epithelium, ABSORPTION AND SECRETION of chemical substances, which is a key feature of organs (stomach, intestine) that make up digestive tracts, will be impossible.
The red blood corpuscles have a pigment called hemoglobin that binds to the oxygen and carries it to the whole body in both the conditions, when the body is at rest or when the body is exercising. The oxygenated blood from the heart is carried to the various parts of the body and the de-oxygenated blood from various parts of the body is carried to the lungs where the exchange of gases takes place.
Answer:
Tissue
Tissue is the group of similar cells that are common in origin to perform particular function. Tissue system is the group of similar tissues that are common in origin and perform particular function. Organs are made up of tissue system.
Explanation:
Using the gas pedal analogy, the proto-oncogene would be an accelerator since they promote cell division and
deregulate apoptosis, while tumor suppressor would
be the brakes since they constrain the progress of the cell
cycle and induce cell apoptosis. An
oncogene is, therefore, when the accelerator
is stuck in down position and the brakes are not working.
Answer:
A) A mutation in a single gene can result in a defective protein.
Explanation:
This hypothesis states that one gene codes for one protein-enzyme, so consequently, if mutation occurs in that gene, the enzyme will not work properly. This hypothesis was very important for the fundamental discoveries of molecular biology, but it is oversimplified meaning that relationship between genes and proteins is much more complex.
