Mitosis and meiosis are both cell division process except that the former is only done by somatic cells and the latter is done by gametes. In G1 phase or the growth phase of interphase, there is increase in cellular substance without DNA replication therefore DNA will be regarded as x. By the time when S or synthesis phase of interphase is finished, DNA replication is done therefore all phases that follow the S phase will have a DNA of 2x. In this case, the cell in metaphase of meiosis I has double the amount of DNA than the one in G1 phase because this cell already underwent the S phase. In meiosis, after the first division (meiosis I), there is reduction of genetic material into half (hence called reduction division) producing haploid cells. So a cell in the metaphase of meiosis II will have DNA half of that in metaphase of meiosis I thereby regarded as x.

<span>x DNA content in the G1 phase of a cell in the cell cycle is 2n. So 2n = x (given) Similarly the DNA content of the same cell in the cell cycle is 4n. This is equal to 2x (given). In the same way continuing with the lineage that is in the cell cycle, the DNA content will be 2n, which is again x.</span>

A simple diagram of a DNA molecule is shown below. Which of the following is represented by X?
Reil [10]

Answer:

From the diagram X = <u>base pairs</u>

Explanation:

Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.

Nucleotides comprise:

  • a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
  • one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
  • and a phosphate group.

Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides  Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine,  and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The answers are a) Cancer cells treated with the chemical have a lower survival rate than cells that are not treated and d) This chemical will be useful for treating all types of cancer.

Explanation:

Since the research finds that cancer cells have a lower survival rate when exposed to a particular species of fungus. In addition to this new chemical compound could be implemented as a cancer drug.
