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.

kakasveta [241]

The human population has changed since it first appeared on earth as The b. population has generally increased, and at rates that have varied over time.

Humans, as well as other populations, have changed since their appearance on earth. Some populations became extinct as they were not able to cope with the environmental changes whereas other became more adaptable and increased in number over time.

The human population has also increased with the passage of time. However, the increase in the rate of the human population was not a stable one. At some times in the past, the population number declined due to environmental factors such as the eruption of a disease etc.

However, with the passage of time, humans have managed to adapt themselves to the changing environmental conditions and their population is increasing rapidly.

Although a part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this question:

The human population has changed in ways that are similar to other populations. How has the human population changed since it first appeared on earth?

a. The population has generally increased at a relatively constant rate

b. the population has generally increased, and at rates that have varied over time

c. The population increases rapidly until it reaches carrying capacity, where it has remained for thousands of years

d. The population increases rapidly until it reaches carrying capacity, and then decreased at a constant rate

If you wanted to make a prediction about an event that required complicated analysis of data which tool would be the most helpfu
erik [133]
If I was going to make a prediction for a scientific data thing I would always go to plotting it as a graph – with graphics calculators you can get it to even give you an equation to follow.

The only problem with this is if you're wanting to predict data beyond the range of your given data points (extrapolating), because it is generally viewed as inaccurate.
