- Give typed solution onlyarrow_forwardIn 1970, Frye and Edidin published research describing the mobility of plasma membrane proteins. They fused mouse and human cells together, creating a hybrid cell, and then examined the localization of mouse and human proteins over time. Initially mouse and human proteins were each restricted to one-half of the heterokaryon, but over time the mouse and human proteins mixed, with each being present over the entire cell surface. What technique did Frye and Edidin likely use to examine the mouse and human proteins? Choose one: O A. interference contrast light microscopy B. transmission electron microscopy O C. fluorescence microscopy O D. scanning electron microscopyarrow_forwardEach of the following conditions involves a disorder in the function of an organelle or other cell structure. In each case, identify the organelle or structure involved and indicate whether it is likely to be underactive or active. Give brief a brief explanation each. a. A man suddenly felt weak and manifested cyanide poisoning symptoms after ingesting undercooked cassava which contains cyan glycosides. b. A young man learns that he is infertile because his sperm are non-motile. A maize plant is unable to survive due to recessive lethal gene causing albinism. d. An infant is placed on a low phenylalanine diet as his newborn screening results revealed that he inherited phenylketonuria. e. A man develops pleiomorphic liposarcoma (a rare type of cancer) and is told that the cause of the problem is a hard mass of cells in his right inner thigh that rapidly increased in size in a C. matter of two months.arrow_forward
