Using powerful new sequencing technologies, investigators can now catalog every RNA molecule made by a cell and determine at wha

t quantities these RNAs are present. In an experiment, researchers measured the relative quantities of two different mRNAs—one transcribed from gene A, the other from gene B—in two different cell types. Gene B is expressed in both the liver and the brain whereas gene A is expressed in the brain but not in the liver. Which most likely encodes a housekeeping protein?
Choose one:


A. both genes

B. neither gene

C. gene B only

D. gene A only

Answer:

C. gene B only

Explanation:

Housekeeping proteins are essential for all cells throughout it human body, to maintain basic function. So, if gene B is expressed in two different organs, such as brain and liver, it suggests that B is a housekeeping protein. Examples of this kind of proteins are the ribosomal proteins, RNA polymerases, cytoeskeleton proteins, and some of the mitochondrial proteins, among others.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.

Compare a bacterial cell and a human body cell. Include in your response
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Differences: Size

Similarities:  Organelles

Explanation:

The most important difference is size. The volume of a typical human cell is 4,000 times more than the volume of a typical bacterial cell. Today's bacterial cells are direct descendants of the prokaryotic cells found in rocks that were formed one billion years after Earth.

Organelles are the biggest difference between bacteria and cells that make up the human body. An organelle is a tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell. Organelles are embedded within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In the more complex eukaryotic cells, organelles are often enclosed by their own membrane
