What would you compare red blood cells to? why?

Biology

Explanation:

On a peripheral blood smear, normal RBCs are disc-shaped with a pale-staining central area called the central pallor. When judging red cell size on a blood smear, the classic rule of thumb is to compare them to the nucleus of a small normal lymphocyte. The normal lymphocyte nucleus has an approximate diameter of 8 µm.

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Inactivation of an enzyme that degrades M-Cyclin.

         M-phase cyclins form M-CDK complexes and drive the cell's entry into mitosis from G2 phase as non-degradation of M-Cyclin resulting from inactivated enzyme can only result in constitutive entry of the cell in to M phase instead cell cycle being arrested at G2 phase,

         

B. Inactivation of the Wee-1 kinase.

         Wee1 is a nuclear kinase that plays a key role in regulating cell cycle progression. Wee1 inhibits the entry of the cell into M phase by inhibiting Cdk1. Wee1 phosphorylates Cdk1 there inhibiting the kinase activity of Cdk1 which is essential for progression from G2 to M phase. As such any mutation of wee1, and the resulting loss of activity will result in premature entry of cells into M phase instead of getting arrested at the G2 phase resulting in smaller yeast cell.

C. Inactivation of the Cdc25 phosphatase

               CDC25 phosphatases removes inhibitory phosphate residues from cyclin dependent kinases resulting in the activation of CDKs which causes the cells in G2 phase to entry to M phase. Mutation in CDC25 phosphates removes the ability of CDC25 to remove phosphate residues from CDKs thus preventing the entry into M-phase.

Therefore, mutant phenotype of cell cycle arrest prior to M phase can only result form mutation in

Which statement best describes the dermis?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The dermis is the layer of skin below the epidermis. Below the dermis is the subcutaneous layer. It contains connective tissue from collagen and elastic fibers giving skin its elasticity. It contains nerve fibers sensitive to heat and touch. Glands - like sebaceous & sweat glands, hair follicles, and blood capillaries that supply the skin, are found in this layer.
