Answer:
TNF-alpha is expressed as a homotrimer that exerts its activities through binding to two types of receptors: TNFR1 and TNFR2, which are transmembrane glycoproteins characterized by having an extracellular domain with 4 cysteine-rich domains (CRD 1-4) , each with 3 cysteinecysteine disulfide bonds.
Explanation:
TNF-alpha (Tumor Necrosis Factor), which has the characteristic of being a paracrine signaling ligand, is a pleiotropic cytokine that functions as a mediator of immune regulation, the inflammatory response and apoptosis in some cell types. Receptors in this family are involved, with some exceptions, in juxtacrine signaling; that is, both the ligand and the receptor are membrane proteins with extracellular domains through which signaling is established. The cellular responses promoted by TNF are initiated by its interaction with two different types of cell receptors, the type I receptor (55 kDa) and the type II receptor (75 kDa). Both types of receptors are part of the TNF receptor family, members of which include Fas antigen (apoptosis inducer, also called Apo-1 or CD95), CD27 (T-cell activation antigen), CD30 (lymphoma marker Hodgkin) and CD40 (B-cell antigen), which share the characteristic of cysteine-rich sequences in their extracellular domains. This family of cytokines generate cellular responses that include differentiation, proliferation, activation of NFκB and cell death, promoting the aggregation of receptor monomers, that is, they have a transmembrane domain that participates in the solubilization of the receptor and a domain of intracellular death that is involved in signal transduction. The binding of TNF to TNF-R1 induces a signaling cascade through its intracellular death domain, which subsequently leads to the activation of complex I (or inflammatory) of NFkB and proceeds to the transcription of anti-apoptotic genes, pro- inflammatory diseases and apoptosis complex II (caspases).
*anatomy & physiology question*
if you are at 120X and the field diameter is 8.0 mm what is the field diameter if you go to 30X magnification?
Answer:
32 mm
Explanation:
The field of view is the total area visible through the microscope . The diameter of the field of view can be measured.
There is an inverse relationship between the magnification and the field diameter. As magnifications decreases, the field diameter increases by the same proportion, and as magnifications increases, the field diameter decreases by the same proportion.
The relationship between field diameter and magnification is:
magnification of A * field diameter of A = magnification of B * field diameter of B
120X * 8 mm = 30X * B
B = 120X / 30X * 8 mm
B = 32 mm = 32000 μm
The field diameter of 30X magnification is 32 mm (32000 μm)

The theory,of evolution states that all living things had a single common ancestor. The translation between mRNA and amino acids is the same for all living thing. Does the second statement support the theory of evolution ?
Answer: the theory of evolution states that all living things we can identify descend from the Last Universal Common Ancestor. It is not that the translation process between mRNA and amino acids is universal, but that the underlying genetic code relating DNA nucleotide triplets (codons) to amino acids is the same for almost all living things.
Explanation: The genetic code ‘tells’ mRNA which the sequence of amino acids in a protein and when to stop adding amino acids. The DNA . triplets, called codons, code for 20 amino acids and a STOP signal. The code is identical in almost all cases, but there are variation, mostly found in mitochondrial DNA. But even when these variants exist, most of the code is the same as in other living organisms. For example the codon AGG normally codes for the amino acid serine but in arthropod mitochondria it codes for lysine. These very few and minor changes tend to confirm the single ancestry of the code and how well it has been conserved through billions of replications

What is the independent variable?
What is the dependent variable?
Answer:
the independent is the age of the tree and the dependent is the diameter
Explanation:
the diamter of the tree is based off of the age as we can see that it gets bigger the older the tree is
Answer: Independent variable: age of the tree (years), Dependent variable: tree diameter (mm)
The diameter of the tree is dependent on what age the tree is. As the tree gets older, the diameter increases. The dependent variable depends/relies on the value(s) of the independent variable.

What is the medical term for the process or procedure that destroys or inhibits disease-causing microorganisms to prevent infection:
Answer: Sterilization.
Explanation:
Sterilization is the process that kills, or deactivates all forms of life so then a product is considered free of viable microorganisms. This process must be designed, validated and carried out to ensure that it is capable of eliminating the microbial load of the product.
Since sterility cannot be demonstrated without causing the complete destruction of the products, sterility is considered when the probability of a product being contaminated is acceptably remote. A critical product is considered sterile when the probability of a microorganism being present in an active or latent form is equal to or less than 1 in 1,000,000 (sterility safety factor 10^-6).
Agents that kill microorganisms are called microbicides or more commonly called "germicides". If the agent kills bacteria, it is called a bactericide. And if it kills fungi, then it is called a fungicide. It is important to consider than after an exposure of the sterilized object to the air or its surroundings, it will have become contaminated again with microorganisms.
Examples of sterilization include physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include:
Wet heat (in steam autoclave) Dry heat (in sterilization oven) Radiation (gamma radiatio, electron beam, X-ray, ultraviolet, microwave, white light)Chemical methods include a variety of chemicals in liquid and vapor form, for example:

Answer:
B. A helicase enzyme unwinds the DNA molecule, then corresponding nucleotides are added to the separated original strand forming two separate semiconservative molecules
Explanation:
DNA Replication is an important phenomenon as far as cell division is concerned. It is the process whereby a DNA molecule doubles its content or forms two DNA molecules from one.
In the semi-conservative model of DNA replication, an enzyme called DNA helicase unwinds the double stranded DNA molecule into two single strands. The single strands are then used as template for DNA polymerase to synthesize another molecule of DNA. Hence, two separate DNA molecules comprising of one old strand and one new strand.
If the sodium/potassium ion pump were to stop functioning, what would eventually happen to the concentration gradients of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane
Answer:
The correct answer would be - concentration gradient will reach to equilibrium.
Explanation:
If the Na+/K= ion pump stops working which is to pump the sodium and potassium ion across the cell membrane. The movement takes place in 3:2 ratio with the help of ATP.
Eventually, the concentration gradients of sodium and potassium would be equal and found equilibrium across the membrane. This equilibrium would be reached due to passive transport that occurs in either direction across the membrane.
The F1 mother of these progeny (F2) resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines (P generation). What are the genotypes of these two lines
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
In fruit flies, the recessive pr and cn mutations cause brown and bright-red eyes, respectively (wild-type flies have brick-red eyes). The double mutant pr cn combination has orange eyes. A female who has wild-type eyes is crossed to an orange-eyed male. Their progeny have the following distribution of eye colors:
wild-type8
brown241
bright-red239
orange12
500
The F1 mother of these progeny (F2) resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines (P generation). What are the genotypes of these two lines ?
Answer:
prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn
Explanation:
Progeny is the offspring or descendants of any animal, plant, human or a species.
In the context, it is given that the cn mutation and recessive pr in the fruit flies makes brown and bright red color eyes. And the double mutant of pr and cn combination makes orange eyes. An oragne eye males is crossed with a female having a wild type eyes. Now for this, the F1 mother of the progeny F2 which results from the cross of two flies, the genotypes is " prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn. "

Why is politics important for stopping climate change?
1. Because politicians are responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than regular people.
2. Because climate change isn't really a scientific issue, only a political one.
3. It isn't, private companies are already doing everything necessary to combat climate change.
4. Because it's unlikely action will be taken fast enough without the government passing laws to reduce our impact on the
climate.

What is RNA primase's job?
-removing a few bases for DNA polymerase
-add a few bases for DNA polymerase
-removing a few bases for helicase
Answer:
The correct answer is - add a few bases for DNA polymerase
Explanation:
A short extended nucleic acid composed of ssRNA molecule. This is a molecule that synthesize a primer initialy and later again lay down a primer after the opening of replication fork by DNA helicase.
It sysntheisze before and after the helicase and follow the helicase in order to prepare for the replication process. Thus, adding a few bases for DNA polymerase is main job of RNA primase.
Volcanoes can form near coastal regions where an oceanic plate [blank] below a continental plate
Answer:
Subducts
Explanation:
According to Merriam Webster and TheFreeDictionary, the definition of subduct is "A geologic process in which one edge of one crustal plate is forced below the edge of another." Since this sentence indicates that an oceanic plate sinks under the continental plate, therefore I believe the fill-in-the-blank word would be 'subducts' or a similar word.

What's the definition of absoulute dating
Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified time scale in archaeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted certainty and precision. Absolute dating provides a numerical age or range in contrast with relative dating which places events in order without any measure of the age between events. In archeology, absolute dating is usually based on the physical, chemical, and life properties of the materials of artifacts, buildings, or other items that have been modified by humans and by historical associations with materials with known dates. Techniques include tree rings in timbers, radiocarbon dating of wood or bones, and trapped charge dating methods such as thermoluminescence dating of glazed ceramics. Coins found in excavations may have their production date written on them, or their may be written records describing the coin and when it was used, allowing the site to be associated with a particular calendar year.
