The most famous cancer cells are called HeLa cells. They're named HeLa cells after the young woman whose cervical cancer cells were biopsied to create this immortal line of cells: Henrietta Lacks. Her cells are still used to today in cancer research.
Side note: Her cells were used WITHOUT her consent and without any type of compensation for her contribution. Her case has been a big source of debate in the biomedical ethics community about consent and racial disparities in healthcare.
Pre-frontal Cortex (PFC)
The PFC is often one of the last regions of the cerebral cortex to fully develop. It is the area of the brain most associated with executive function, logic, reason, and some anticipation of consequences.
Research estimates that most females' PFC is nearly fully developed by ages 16-21; however, males lag in this development of their PFC by an average of ages 19-24.
Thus, before legal age (18), minors (males > females) are more apt to partake in risk-taking behaviors.
Plants leaves, roots and stems are in the organ systems level.
—Evidence—
•] Plants contain just two organ systems. The shoot system includes all of the parts above the ground, such as leaves and stems, while the root system includes all of the parts below the ground, such as roots and tubers.
Answer/ Explanation:
Chromosomes are highly condensed and compact structures. This means the chromatin (protein plus DNA complex) is hierarchically organised into tight structures through progressive folding of chromatin.
However, this is only the case during cell division. When the cell is in interphase and performing its normal duties, it is in a much more decondensed structure. This is because in order for transcription to occur, the cell needs to be able to access the information in the DNA. For example, transcription factors need to bind at their gene promoters to promote transcription.
When the DNA is folded into chromosomes, cellular factors do not have access to the genetic information due to the physical constraints of the chromatin structure.
