Describe the key chromosome behaviors during mitosis.

Biology
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 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.

If you could monitor the activity from the photoreceptors of rods and cones in the retina during a dream, would you expect these
loris [4]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

- Yes, because people's eyes move during sleep, and this stimulates the rods and cones.

- No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.

- No, because rods and cones never produce electrical signals.

- Yes, because the rods and cones are reproducing images that are then sent to the brain.

Answer:

No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.

Explanation:

The rod and cone cells are the photoreceptor cells present on the retina of the eye which receives the physical stimulus in the form of light and then converts the light energy into the electrical energy which is sent to the brain.

When we dream, our remains closed and no light is able to enter the eye as a result of which the rods and cones do not send the signals to the brain.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

True or False: If one thing in a food web is affected, it will only probably affect the organism that directly relies on it for
joja [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Due to the fact that all the organisms are connected in a chain, the energy flow would be affected and that would result in many organisms being deprived of energy they need and that creates a chain effect.

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
