Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, however, it will be answered BROADLY so the it can be understood enough to select the correct answer.

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Cells perform different functions and look differently because of the process of CELL DIFFERENTIATION. All cells arise from a single stem cell, which then gradually differentiates into different types of cells with different functions, as they divide.

At the molecular level, these different types of cells contain the same DNA sequence as rightly stated in the question. However, they look and perform differently because some of the genes are turned on while the others are turned off via the process of GENE EXPRESSION.

Therefore, a blood cell and skin cell possess exactly the same DNA sequence but look different and perform different functions because of CELL DIFFERENTIATION in which some genes on the DNA sequence are expressed and others are repressed. For example, in the blood cell; the genes coding for certain proteins found in blood are expressed while every other gene is silenced or inhibited. This allows those cells to perform only blood-related functions.

Jet lag occurs when a person moves rapidly from one time zone to another, causing conflict between the body's biological rhythm
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

c) melatonin

Explanation:

Melatonin its a hormone formed by the pineal gland, which regulates an individual wake cycles and sleep. Jetlag alters the hormone function leading to an alteration with the body clock of the persom.

Jetlag is a sleep disorder common to those who travel swiftly over several time zones. It is not a permanent sleep disorder. Its due to the body's internal clock lacking sync with cues generated in a different time zone, Cues may be due to light exposure and how often the person eats.

A basic factor on ones internal clock is sunlight. It controls the regulation of melatonin which aid in synchronizing cells in the body.

Specific cells of the tissue at retina moves the light signals the thypothalamus.

At night, the hypothalamus signal to the pineal gland to produce melatonin. At daylight hours, the reverse is the case.

Hey there!!




Your answer is epithelial tissue. This tissue is the one that does it part to protect all of the other cells around too or form the external barrier.




Hope this helps!!

Ede4ka [16]
The teacher would be well advised to help students encode information about the cell using both visual and verbal forms. This is because, multiple forms of encoding increases the probability of easy retrieval. Encoding in this case involves converting the names of the cell organelles to forms that can easily be remembered.

Write a hypothesis about the effect of the red light on the population of light red walking beans. Use the "if . . . then . . .
PtichkaEL [24]
If red light is shined on a population of red walking beans then they would not be as red as when started because they need light to survive and red light is present but they reflect it until they need it to survive.

Mutations that naturally occur can change phenotype and if it is beneficial to the species then it will be past on if it is no then it will die before passing it on.
