He La cells have play important role in the study of cancer and even in cancer therapies. He La cells are also used to diagnose trisomic disorders such as Down's Syndrome with the help of chromosome banding. Some genes present in the He La cells are used as markers and compared with the other cell line in question. Presence of the marker for Down's syndrome in the cell in question shows that the person is suffering from the disease.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

According to the genetic code, the amino acids are the following:  

- Glycine: encoded by GGC, GGA and GGG codons  

-Arginine: encoded by AGA and AGG codons

-Lysine: encoded by AAA and AAG codons

-Glutamic acid: encoded by GAA and GAG  codons

Explanation:

The probabilities to observe an amino-acid formed by Glutamic acid in the coding sequence is 2/9 for each codon

anastassius [24]

Answer:

The carrying capacity of a wildlife reserve is 570 individuals for a particular species of rodents. If the area of the reserve is extended,  the carrying capacity is likely to  Increase

During the summer, a fatal disease began killing individuals. The carrying

capacity of the reserve will therefore​ decrease

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of a habitat is the maximum number of individuals of a given species it can support without depleting the available resources. When the area of the reserve is extended, the carrying capacity increases because the available resources will also increase. A fatal  disease would increase the carrying capacity since the number of wildlife would decrease.

solong [7]

ANSWER:

Brain cells that are neither neurons nor glia, but which are capable of dividing and then differentiating into neurons or glia, are called NEURAL STEM CELLS.

EXPLANATION:

Neural stem cells are undifferentiated cells originating in the central nervous system.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) have the potential to give rise to the radial glial progenitor cells that grow and differentiate into neurons and glial cells.

NSCs have an important role during development producing the enormous diversity of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the developing CNS.

A NEURON (nerve cell) is a specialized cell that conveys electrochemical impulses throughout the body.

provide support for and insulation between them.

GLIAL CELLS are the most abundant cell types in the central nervous system. Types of glial cells include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, Schwann cells, microglia, and satellite cells.
