The answer is false: Muscle cells make different proteins than nerve cells because they have different sequences of DNA.

Explanation:

  • Muscle cells and nerve cells in the same organism have the same DNA sequence. The difference in the proteins they produce is due to the differential expression of genes, not because they have different DNA sequences.
  • Gene expression is regulated by various factors, including transcription factors, epigenetic modifications, and the cellular environment, which determine which genes are turned on or off in a particular cell type.
  • Therefore, the difference in protein production between muscle cells and nerve cells is due to the regulation of gene expression, not differences in DNA sequences.

A robot begins at point C and travels in a straight line across a warehouse floor to point A where it picks up some merchandise. It then turns a 37.0° corner and travels 46.8 m to point B where it drops off the merchandise, as in the figure to the right. If the robot must now turn a 28.0° corner to return to its original position, how far must it travel to get there? Describe how to solve this problem. To determine the desired distance, use the given information to determine and then use the formula The robot must travel to travel to its original position. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
