Maturation value

Generally no, but it might depend on a cell. If a B cell is triggered into differentiating (the process of maturation) then it can later become a plasma cell, whose sole purpose in life is to divide and make antibodies. But the division is not part of the maturation - the cell ...

... (including T cell receptor assembly, psoitive and negative selection, double CD4+/CD8+ phase etc.) and then move to the periphery, where the last maturation events take place. In the thymus and the periphery the cells do not divide actively, but when they have reached the so-called naive stage ...

What happens to a protein sequence when an intron is not spliced out in the maturation of an mRNA strand? All I could come up with was that you would get a garbage protein with incorrect amino acids once the ribosome got to the intron. I guess also if the intron ...

... onion root tip and rank which will have the fastest to slowest cell division rate: Root Cap, Apical Meristem, Zone of Elongation, and the Zone of Maturation. So far, I've come up with this: (1 being the fastest) Root Cap...............4 Apical Meristem.......1 Zone of Elongation ...2 Zone of Maturation...3 ...

... highly dynamic doesn't dissapear because it's recreated over and over again. Cis-cisternes don't dissapear because even though they move during maturation to medial and trans Golgi, what's left behind them is again recreated from ER vesicles. Similarily, trans-Golgi cisternes don't disappear, ...
