Answer:

The correct answer is b) mediate cell-to-cell recognition

Explanation:

Cell to cell recognition is necessary for a cell to know and distinguish its neighbor cells. Cell adhesion is one of the examples cell to cell communication when a cells comes in contact with other cells by interaction with their specialized protein complex.

This contact between cells is accomplished by plasma membrane components like carbohydrates that are attached to proteins and lipids which makes glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycolipoproteins.

This cell to cell communication is important for cell to proliferate and function together in organs like in liver, liver cell only works when they are surrounded by more liver cells.

So the right answer is b) mediate cell-to-cell recognition.

d. The normal pH of human blood is already in the alkaline range.

Explanation:

The blood has an average pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Also, in blood there are some natural buffers that allows to maintain this pH does not matter the kind of food or substances that enter to our body.

If for any process the pH decreases a little bit, the body starts a process to recover the natural pH of the blood.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, Encourage people in the neighborhood to use more disposable products.

Explanation:

The best way to reduce the waste is to stop its negative impact at the source of generation. In a neighbor hood,  all the house can be considered as a source of waste generation. Thus if people are encouraged to use disposable product, it would be very easy to just collect and dump the waste without segregation. This will save time, money and effort.

The strand of dna used in the previous problem undergoes a mutation, such that the second c from the 3' end is changed to a
dlinn [17]
This mutation type is a substitution mutation. Substitution mutations may be silent or may have adverse effects (missense mutation).
Adverse effects come about because the change in codons in mRNA transcribed from the DNA strand. A point substitution can change the amino acid being coded for in the particular polypeptide change. If that animo acid is a structural residue of the protein, the structure of the protein will be altered, which may or may not lead to a change in protein function. If that particular amino acid is a catalytic residue of the protein, it may alter the 3D conformation and charge of the active site (if protein is an enzyme) or the binding site of protein. Function of protein formed from mutated DNA will be lost or altered.

Hope this helps! :)
