A cell with one mutation is unable to complete cell division (mitosis). What intracellular structure/structures might be defective? Explain your answer by first giving the normal role of this/these structures and then explaining why when defective, it/they might prevent the cell from completing mitosis.
In typical women of reproductive age, the epithelial
cells lining the uterus (the
endometrium) die and are shed from the body
roughly once every month, in the process
of menstruation. The triggers in this process include
chemical (hormonal) changes and
contraction of the blood vessels in the lining. Cell
death may be a result of either
apoptosis or necrosis.
a. Describe the characteristics of each process
(apoptosis and necrosis).
b.Develop an argument for classifying the process of
menstruation as an example
of apoptosis, and then argue for classifying it as
necrosis.
c.Explain which is correct, and provide the
supporting evidence?
List at least 5 common causes of cell injury. Provide a brief description of their effects on the morphology and physiologic activities of the cell.

True or false explain whyarrow_forwardWhether the statement "In normal adult tissues, cell death usually balances cell division." is true or false.arrow_forwardCytokinesis is the division of a cell following mitosis, and is driven by the formation of contractile ring of actin and myosin II just beneath the plasma membrane, midway between daughter cell nuclei. true falsearrow_forward
- Tumors associated with breast cancer usually arise from either epithelial cells or fibroblasts. Because optimal treatment differs depending on the cellular origin of the tumor, it’s important for doctors to determine which cell type is present in a tumor. Unfortunately, the distinctive morphology of epithelial cells is lost when they become cancerous, so this determination cannot be made based on cell shape alone. How might determination of the class(es) of intermediate filaments present in tumor cells aid a doctor in figuring out which cell type is involved in the tumor?arrow_forwardCell membrane modifications found on epithelial cells in the small intestine and kidney tubules that prevent movement of material from the intestinal tract into the peritoneal cavity are called ______arrow_forwardAll of the specialized somatic cells of multicellular organisms _________.
