Chapter 1. Cellular Biology MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled DNAwith histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student? a. A single circular chromosome b. A nucleus c. Free-floating nuclear material d. No organelles ANS: B The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within itsnucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome i...

Pathophysiology Ch 3 When the immune system reacts appropriately to an antigen and homeostasis is maintained, this is termed - ANS immunocompetence. The acquired immunity that results when a person has a disease is - ANS active. Immunoglobulins that provide the ability to recognize foreign organisms stimulating the antigen-antibody reaction are called - ANS B-cells. The group of diseases that occur when antibodies develop and begin to destroy the body's own cells is - ANS ...
