Have you ever wondered what can happen to those plastic bottles you toss away? How do they decompose? What happens to them? Its simple really, they get eaten! No, not by people of course they are eaten by a tiny critter called a wax worm. The wax worms earn their name because they are often found living in beehives where they eat the beeswax.
Wax worms much like mealworms are used to break down things that would normally be endangering to our environment. These seemingly useless little animals do a whole lot for our environment especially with the amount of waste we produce! They really are a tiny secret hero to todays pollution problem.
After quite a few studies scientists are still unsure on how was worms can breakdown plastic with their tiny bodies but they appreciate the work these little recyclers do. They have a lot of theories on how these worms do this one of the theories is that bacteria can break it down, another theory is that enzymes in the worms intestines break down plastics. Though scientists believe it will take a while to figure this out they enjoy studying and learning more about this tiny helper.
Re-replication is allowed on geminin depleted cells
Explanation:
The depletion of the geminin gene by the siRNA leads to re-replication of portions of the genome. This is due to the protein Geminin be responsible to inhibit the replication factor cdt1 and therefore one replication round is allowed in wild type cells at the S phase. Therefore, Geminin-depleted cells will re-replicate their genome causing the enlargement of the nucleus.
The longest phase of mitosis is prophase. Because the nuclear membrane disappears, Nucleolus disintegrates, and the DNA condensed to form chromosomes (each chromosome is composed of sister chromatids attached around centromere.)
