Each of the following statements concerning hair is true except

Biology
1 answer:
Levart [38]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.

Explanation:

Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells.  Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".

The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.

Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).

Scalp hair growth stops because of  follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.

Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".

A certain species of rabbit can have either black or grey fur. The allele for black fur is dominant over the allele for grey fur
lawyer [7]

The answer is; B

If we assume that the allele for black fur is B and that for white fur is b, crossing a homozygous black rabbit with a heterozygous black rabbit, will yield the following results (indicated in the punnet square below);

Genotypically, 50% of the population will be homozygous dominant, while 50% will be heterozygous. However, phenotypically, all offspring will bear black fur because the black fur allele is dominant over the grey allele.

"interpret the diagram"
Pachacha [2.7K]

1. The glutamate causes an influx of ca2+ ions into the nerve cell akin to what occurs during depolarization. However, this occurs excessively without regulation (due to excessive stimulation by the glutamate) that  eventually causes nerve injury through cytotoxic edema.



2. When the ca2+ levels are lowered during stroke, then nerve cell injury would be obviated hence enabling the chances of restoration of nerve cell function.   This would happen because there would be no excess calcium ions to influx when the NMDA receptors are excessively stimulated by the glutamate molecules.

U937D cells express high levels of creatine kinase (CK‑B) mRNA but do not translate the mRNA into protein. Ribosomes bind the 5'
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Basically the translation of CK-B protein is inhibited in the U937D cells, despite the fact that the CK-B protein is bounded to the ribosomes. This is because(<u>mechanisms)</u> the translation is inhibited by the binding of translational repressors to the 3’UTR of the CK-B mRNA rather than the actual CK-B mRNA 3'UTR.

Furthermore, the soluble protein inhibitions is due to the reaction of the U937 cells to the short RNA sequences with the 3’UTR.

<u>The introduction of these sequences(shot segement of RNA) </u>into the U937D cells leads to CK-B synthesis. This makes 3’UTR sequences to bind to the translational repressor proteins, thus preventing them from binding to the CK-B mRNA .

COMPLETED QUE.

A common feature of many eukaryotic mRNAS is the presence of a rather long 3' UTR, which often contains consensus sequences. Creatine kinase B (CK-B) is an enzyme important in cellular metabolism. Certain cells—termed U937D cells—have lots of CK-B mRNA, but no CK- B enzyme is present. In these cells the 5’ end of the CK-B mRNA is bound to ribosomes, the mRNA is apparently not translated. Something inhibits the translation of the CK-B mRNA in these cells. Researchers introduced numerous short segments of RNA containing only 3’UTR sequences into U937D cells. As result, the U937D cells began to synthesize the CK-B enzyme, but the total amount of CK-B mRNA did not increase. The introduction of short segments of other RNA sequences did not stimulate the synthesis of CK-B; only the 3’UTR sequences turned on the translation of the enzyme. Based on these results, <u>purpose a mechanism for how CK-B translation is inhibited in U937D cells. Explain how the introduction of short segments of RNA containing the 3'UTR sequences might remove the inhibition.</u>
