Answer:

Well, there's a couple of functions...

<u>To form proteins and RNA.</u>

<u>To exchange the genetic material of parental chromosomes during meiotic cell division.</u>

<u>To facilitate occurring mutations and even mutational change in a single nucleotide pair, called point mutation.</u>

Each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: a) true

Explanation:

The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, without a single extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis, on the other hand, is only used for one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes or sex cells, i.e. sperm and eggs. The question is oriented to mitosis, <u>in which prior to this cell division, the cell duplicates its DNA</u> so that each daughter cell then inherits the genetic material. That is, the cell originally possesses 23 chromosomes, they duplicate to a total of 46 so that then each daughter cell receives 23.

The metaphase is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis that occurs after prophase where the envelope is lost and microtubules of the achromatic spindle (also called meiotic or mitotic) appear.

During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell and this balanced midline spindle alignment is due to the equal and opposing forces generated by the kinetochore brothers.

Then during metaphase, the chromosomes will line up in the center of the cell to be separated and go each to a different daughter cell. But the moment they're found there, each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent. <u>Because because there have been no changes or mutations in the chromosomes, they have duplicated and have the same genetic information.</u>

HURRY!!! TELL ME EVERYTHING U KNOW ABOUT HURRICANES<br> (lol i almost put hypnosis)

Hurricanes are large, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of over 160 mph and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons of rain a day.[1]
The deadliest U.S. hurricane on record was a Category 4 storm that hit the island city of Galveston, Texas, on Sept. 8, 1900. Some 8,000 people lost their lives when the island was destroyed by 15-ft waves and 130-mph winds.[2]
Over 1/3 of cat and dog owners don't have a disaster preparedness plan in place for their animals. Help neighbors and friends come up with a hurricane plan for their pets. Sign up for Save Our Pets.[3]
In the Atlantic, hurricane season starts June 1, while in the Pacific it starts May 15. Both end on November 30.[4]
When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge.[5]
40% of the hurricanes that occur in the United States hit Florida.[6]
The difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane is wind speed – tropical storms usually bring winds of 36 to 47 mph, whereas hurricane wind speeds are at least 74 mph.[7]
Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around the eye. The rotating storm clouds create the "eye wall," which is the most destructive part of the storm.[8]
Hurricanes are classified into 5 categories, based on their wind speeds and potential to cause damage. Names can be "retired" if a hurricane has been really big and destructive. Retired names include Katrina, Andrew, Mitch and most recently Sandy.[9]
When the National Hurricane Center began giving official names to storms in 1953, they were all female. This practice of using only women’s names ended in 1978.[10]
The costliest hurricane to make landfall was Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm that slammed Louisiana in August of 2005. Damages cost an estimated $108 billion.[11]

Protein synthesis is a multistep process. put the steps of protein synthesis in sequential order.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Replication - Transcription - Translation

Explanation:

Replication duplicates the DNA so that happens first. Then in transcription converts the DNA to mRNA which goes to the cytoplasm to make proteins. In translation proteins are made when codons and anti codons join to make amino acids which create the proteins.
