Describe the key chromosome behaviors during mitosis.

Biology

SIZIF [17.4K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

During mitosis, the chromosomes are distributed equally in the resulting chromosome. The chromosome number was doubled in the S phase of the interphase and the cell is ready for mitosis. The chromosomes are more condensed and twisted in prophase. It is also double in length. During the metaphase, the chromosomes are arranged in the metaphase plate. The microtubules from the centriole attach to the centromere of each chromosome and pull them towards the pole.  

Thus each chromatid pulls apart and migrates towards the poles. The nuclear membrane and nucleus disappear during mitosis. At the end of telophase, the daughter cells contain an equal number of chromatids as in the parent cell.  

Sometimes the microtubules of centrioles do not function properly and fail to pull the chromosomes equally to the cells. Thus one of the daughter cells contains more chromosomes and another fewer chromosomes. This occurs in anaphase. This results in the non-disjunction of chromosomes.  

Sometimes centromere splits transversely instead of longitudinal division. This results in the formation of 2 daughter chromosomes of unequal length. This is called the isochromosomes.  

The number of chromosomes distributed in the daughter cells results in a normal cell or any genetic disorder. The main function of mitosis to produce daughter cells having an equal number of chromosomes present in the parent cell.

Sort the molecules in the glycolysis pathway based on whether they are intermediates or products in the first half of the pathwa
topjm [15]

Intermediates in the first half of glycolysis are: Glucose - 6-Phosphate, Fructose- 6- Phosphate, Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate, Dihydroxy acetone phosphate.

Intermediates in the second half of glycolysis are: 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, 3-phosphoglycerate, 2-phosphoglycerate, phosphoenolpyruvate.

Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose that occurs in all the organisms of the earth whether aerobic or anaerobic. It is a 10 step process that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is the last intermediate of the glycolysis process which converts into pyruvic acid by the action of the enzyme pyruvate kinase. This step results in the synthesis of 2 ATP. The compound's role can also be seen in photosynthesis in C4 plants.

Which of the following would increase the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
siniylev [52]

Answer: Increasing enzyme, decreasing inhibitors, increasing cofactors

Explanation:

Why? Well, we know that increasing how much enzyme is available is a good method to speed up the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction because we have MORE enzymes to deal with the substrates. We also know that cofactors are essential for widening the range of substrates an enzyme can catalyze. Cofactors also stabilize charge, so the substrate can fit into the binding site better.

Zina [86]

<span>A scientist wants to study the interactions of different birds in the southern part of a desert. The scientist should identify the local names of the birds, and then identify each bird species by using a dichotomous key. The dichotomous key will help him identify the name of the specimen. Next, identify and the foods each bird eats, then determine the bird's patterns of migration.</span>
