In what stage of the cell cycle do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The correct answer is metaphase.

Explanation:

During metaphase, the lining up of the chromosomes takes place at the metaphase plate, under the influence of the mitotic spindle. In each of the chromosomes, the sister chromatids are held together with the help of microtubules from the contrary spindle poles.  

In metaphase, the spindle has captivated all the chromosomes and aligned them in the center of the cell, which is ready to differentiate.

The process that couples a neurotransmitter to activation of a downstream enzyme is referred to as ___
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

second messenger cascade

Explanation:

Second messenger cascade is activated by the NE beta receptor which then activates the G protein. G protein in turn activates the enzyme responsible for converting ATP to cAMP i.e adenylyl cyclase. When the level of cAMP reaches a certain level, the enzyme protein kinase is released.  The enzyme phospholipase is released as the G proteins get active and breaks down the phospholipid membrane into two secondary messenger molecule.
