mammals. 3) Slide 3: Why is the nucleus of the cell in slide 3 so large? In other words‚ what is this cell doing that requires that its nucleus be so large? (Please be specific). In eukaryotic cell in slide #3 has organelles including a nucleus containing DNA and mitochondria energy organelles .Compared to the prokaryotic cell which has the DNA in the cytoplasm smaller and simpler and doesn’t contain a nucleus or other organelles‚ it does have cell membrane. Bacteria and Archea are single celled

What are stem cells and what is gene therapy respectively? These are cells that have the potential to form many different types of cells found in the body. When stem cells divide‚ can form more stem cells or other cells that perform specialized functions. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to form a complete individual‚ while adult stem cells can only form certain types of specialized cells. Stem cells to continue to divide throughout the lifetime of a person. The use of recombinant DNA

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

roles of mitotic cell division‚ meiosis‚ and fertilization in the human life cycle. Mitosis allows for growth and repair from the fertilized egg to the adult. In reproductively mature individuals‚ meiosis creates gametes with half the genetic material. The male gamete then fertilizes the female gamete during sexual reproduction‚ forming a zygote with a full set of genetic material. 2. Why are both cell division and apoptosis necessary for the development of an organism? Cell division is needed

Sep. 21‚ 2014 Stem Cells Stem cells are the beginning of organism creation and have the potential to separate‚ becoming any kind of organism‚ endlessly. These cells have not gone through the process known as differentiation‚ which gives the cell a specific function. Technically‚ due to research over the recent years‚ scientists could grow certain organs with through stem cells because of the fact that these cells can be manipulated early on. There are multiple stem cells that have been determined

Stem cells Nowadays‚ stem cells are the hottest topic in the medical field. More and more researches are performed to investigate these mystic cells. In order to go deeper into this topic and fully understand it‚ let’s first take a look at the stem cells themselves‚ their origins and characteristics which make them so unique and crucial for the medical field. Stem cells are very complex and complicated‚ and‚ that is why‚ it takes a lot amount of time to get to the bottom of their structure to be

amacrine cells in retinal dynamics. In this thought paper I will argue that together with the bipolar and ganglion cells‚ the amacrine cells operate in a parametric system similar to the feedback and feedforward systems found in motor control. In order to determine the role of the amacrine cells they needed to determine the method of bipolar convergence and divergence in ganglion cells. When stimulated individually‚ two different bipolar cells were able to elicit distinct post synaptic potentials in the

Sickle Cell Anemia is a hereditary disease that changes the smallest and most important components of the body. A gene causes the bone marrow in the body to make sickled shapes‚ when this happens; it causes the red blood cell to die faster. This is what causes Hemolytic Anemia. Older children and adults with sickle cell disease may experience a few complications‚ or have a pattern of ongoing problems that shorten their lives. The most common and serious complications of sickle cell disease are anemia

body‚ there are billions of cells that are essential to living – these are called nerve cells. Nerve cells‚ also known as neurons‚ “are the basic information processing structures” (Stufflebeam). There are about 100 billion of these neurons in our nervous system and are the most essential cell in it. Located in brain as well as the spinal‚ there are different types of nerve cells; including: sensory neurons‚ motor neurons‚ and interneuron (Boeree). The neuron is a cell that is structured similarly
