Why are some cells in interphase longer than others?

Biology

jeyben [28]3 years ago

Cells spend most of their lives, about 78 percent of the time, not dividing in a phase called interphase. During interphase the cells get larger, replicate their chromosomes for cell division, synthesize substances that are essential to cell division, and build materials for growth and development.

Which species in the food web would be subject to the greatest biomagnification of pesticides applied to the grasses
zaharov [31]

Answer:

<u><em>Hawk </em></u>

Explanation:

Biomagnification can be described as the accumulation of substances like toxins, pesticides etc in tolerant organisms. The biomagnification tends to increase as the trophic levels of a food chain increase. This is because these substances get more and more accumulated as they move up a food chain.

In the example of the food chain mentioned in this question, the highest trophic level is of hawks, so they will be subjected to the greatest biomagnification.

A postsynaptic neuron has three presynaptic inputs - from neurons X, Y, and Z. Stimulation of neuron X causes the postsynaptic n
xenn [34]

Answer:

Y is probably excitatory and Z is probably inhibitory

Explanation:

  • Two neurons communicate with each other generally by releasing neurotransmitters.
  • The neuron which releases the neurotransmitter is termed as presynaptic neuron and the neuron to which the neurotransmitter binds to exert its effects is called as postsynaptic neuron.
  • Based on the nature of the neurotransmitter released, the presynaptic neurons can either be inhibitory or excitatory in nature.
  • The change in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic neurons depends on the total sum of inputs coming from different pre synaptic neurons at a given time.
  • From the given situation, the stimulation by X alone is causing deploarization of 0.5 mV which shows that it is causing excitation, and since depolarization is increasing when X and Y are stimulaneously stimulated Y is also excitatory in nature. However the depolarisation is not occurring when X and Z are stimualted together and hence, Z is probably inhibitory in nature.

21. Describe the three steps by which a population<br> of insects becomes resistant to a pesticide.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

1. Survivors of the pesticide have a gene that protects them from it.

2. Then the survivors pass on the gene to their offspring,

3. Each time the pesticide is sprayed, the insects have a greater chance of survival.
