The four main phases of mitosis are:

Prophase- In the first half:The chromosomes start to shrink. The cytoskeleton begins to form the mitotic spindle, which will grow between the centrosomes and organize the chromosomes.The nucleolus goes away.
                  In the second half: The chromosomes become extremely compact. The nuclear envelope disappears and all the DNA comes out. Some of the mitotic spindle starts to catch chromosomes.

Metaphase- The mitotic spindle moves all of the chromosomes across the middle of the cell.

Anaphase- The two chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart from each other and become their own chromosomes. Loose microtubules push the ends of the cell to make it longer.

Telophase- The mitotic spindle is broken back down into microtubules. Two new nuclei appear (one for each new cell). The chromosomes return to their normal form (not all squished down).

Another big step is cytokinesis, which starts either during Anaphase, or Telophase. In animal cells, the cell is pinched around the middle to create the two new cells. In plant cells, a cell plate comes into the middle of the cell and separates it into the two new cells.

The main four steps can be remembered using the acronym PMAT.

What is the best explanation if the gel of your PCR product shows smeared bands of multiple sizes? Select one:
trapecia [35]

Answer:

e. None of the above

Explanation:

For me as a Researcher, the reason could be increased Concentration of your DNA sample which you are using as your template. Try to decrease the concentration of DNA (up to 100 ng per reaction is enough and can increase up to 200 ng). so the reason for getting non specific bands is increase concentration of DNA  which results in non specific amplification and also degradation of DNA in the reaction which you can see in your gel electrophoresis results.  

i always corrected my results using the same technique that is lowering the concentration of DNA between 100 and 200 ng per single reaction of PCR.

How do you think predator and prey populations affect one another?
Svetach [21]
Predator and prey populations affect each other because if a predator of one prey kills that one animal than that animal dies and the prey decrease by one and when one predator dies from being killed or just naturally dying, then the predators decrease by one.
