A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 8 picograms of DNA

per nucleus. How many picograms of DNA would be found in a nucleus at prophase of mitosis?

8 0

Answer:

16 picograms

Explanation:

According to the given information, the observed cells have 8 picograms of DNA after mitosis. If these cells enter the cell cycle, DNA replication will take place during the S phase of the interphase of the cell cycle. The process of DNA replication would double the DNA content of these cells making it 16 picograms per nucleus.  

The S phase of the interphase is followed by the G2 phase and then prophase during which there is no change in the DNA content of the cells. Hence, each of these cells would have 16 picograms of DNA at the prophase of mitosis.

Which situation is in equilibrium?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. The amount of air in a room never changes.

Explanation:

  • A system is said to be in equilibrium when the net components in the system remains constant (no increase or decrease) with time.
  • The air in a room never remains constant and always undergoes dynamic movement into and out of the room. At equilibrium, the net air in the room remains constant as amount of air exiting the room is balanced by the amount of air entering it.
  • Evaporation of water in the form of water vapour from a cup into the atmosphere is not in a state of equilibrium as the amount of water evaporating from the cup is not replaced in the cup so there is a net decrease in water level in the cup.
  • The decrease in nitrogen percentage in a room is not in equilibrium as the nitrogen concentration of the room is not constant.
  • A blade of grass growing taller is not in equilibrium as a constant height of the grasses is not maintained.

What are the physiological reactions to stress in the alarm stage
suter [353]

Answer:

Physiological reactions to stress in the alarm stage include: <em>increased heart rate and blood pressure, dilated pupils, rapid and shallow breath, and increased cortisol levels.</em>

Explanation:

Hans Seyle, a medical doctor proposed a model called the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) to explain the effects and stages of coping with the stress. The GAS model has three stages, known as:

1. Alarm stage

2. Resistance stage

3. Exhaustion stage

The <em>alarm</em> stage is the first stage of responding to stress. During this stage, the fight-or-flight response is activated when an individual is experiencing stress. This stage involves the following physiological reactions:

1. Increased heart rate

2. Increased blood pressure

3.  Dilated pupils

4. Rapid and shallow breath

5. Increased cortisol levels
