In arteriosclerosis, overproduction of abnormal collagen and decreased quantities of elastin lead to Decreased coronary artery perfusion.

Arteriosclerosis is a condition in which the arteries, which transport oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body, thicken and stiffen, often limiting blood flow to the organs and tissues. Flexible and elastic arteries indicate good health. However, the artery walls can stiffen over time, a phenomenon known as arterial hardening.

The accumulation of lipids, cholesterol, and other chemicals in and on the artery walls is known as atherosclerosis. The accumulation is known as plaque. Atherosclerosis can constrict the arteries and obstruct blood flow. The plaque may rupture and cause a blood clot.

Symptoms of arteriosclerosis:

chest pressure or discomfort (angina)
sudden numbness or weakness in the arms or legs.
speech slurs or speaking difficulties.
vision briefly lost in one eye.
weakened facial muscles
ache while walking.
elevated blood pressure
renal failure

Answer:

According to the diagram, what is occurring in step 7 is cytokinesis, with the separation of two daughter cells, following cell division.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is a process that occurs at the end of mitosis or meiosis, being the final step of cell division. This mechanism allows the separation of the two daughter cells, with equal distribution of cytoplasm and formation of cell membrane, differentiating into two independent cells.

In the diagram it can be observed (step 7) that after the division process —in yellow— two arrows pointing to two cells are evident, which implies the process of cytokinesis.

Prior to the cytokinesis process, karyokinesis occurs, which is the separation of nuclei and formation of the nuclear membrane.

In animal cells, karyocinesis occurs by the effect of a ring of actin and myosin that helps to force the separation. In the plant cell, the fragmoplast is formed, a septum that induces the separation of the daughter cells.

The other options are not correct because:

Cell growth occurs in G1 phase.
Cell preparation occurs in interphase.
DNA replication occurs in S phase.
Mitosis is represented in yellow, and involves 4 phases.

Answer:

It is Isotonic to the fish egg solution

Explanation:

It is Isotonic because Isotonic is a solution that has the same solute concentration with another solution I.e the amount of solute in one solution is the same with the other. This slow the free flow of solutes in equal part through the semipermeable membrane from one solution to the other.
