Use the key to classify each of the following described tissue types into one of the four major tissue categories.
Key: (a) connective tissue (c) muscle
(b) epithelium (d) nervous tissue
_____(1) Tissue type composed largely of nonliving extracellular matrix; important in protection and support
_____(2) The tissue immediately responsible for body movement
_____(3) The tissue that enables us to be aware of the external environment and to react to it
_____(4) The tissue that lines body cavities and covers surfaces

To review:
The classification of four major type of tissues on the basis of their specific characters, into different categories.
Solution:
The classification of tissue types into major categories of the tissue:
Tissue type | Category |
(1) Tissue type is composed largely of a nonliving extracellular matrix; important in protection as well as support. | (a) Connective Tissue |
(2) The tissue immediately responsible for the body movement. | (c) Muscles |
(3) The tissue enables us to be aware of the external environment as well as to react to it. | (d) Nervous tissue |
(4.) The tissue that lines the body cavity and covers surfaces. | (b) Epithelium |
Explanation of Solution
The connective tissues are important in providing protection and support to the body. They are composed largely of the nonliving extracellular matrix.
The body movements occur due to the relaxation or contraction of the muscle fibers in the human body.
The nervous tissues are the tissues that are mainly responsible for receiving the stimulus from various sources and react according to them. Hence, they make the body of the individual aware of the external environment.
The epithelial cells are the cells that line up the body cavities and form the outer covering.
Thus it is concluded that connective tissue, muscles, nervous tissue and epithelium are four major categories of tissues that plays specific and vital role in the body as explained above.

- What is this?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
