What would go wrong if a cell did not replicate its DNA before beginning mintosis?

Biology

Anna35 [415]3 years ago

If a cell did not replicate its DNA (during the S-phase) before beginning mitosis, then the two identical daughter cells would only get one chromosome from each pair. This, instead of the normal (diploid) 2 pairs of each chromosome (2×23=46), would lead to two haploid cells with 23 total chromosomes each. They would be unable to function and sustain life, thus would likely die soon after division.

The __________ is the fatty substance that insulates and protects the axon. A. Cell body B. Axon terminal C. Neural receptor D.
inysia [295]

The fatty substance that insulates and protects the axon is myelin sheath. That is option D.

<h3>The nerve cells (neuron)</h3>

The nervous system is made up of nerve cells that helps to send and receive signals that are interpreted by the brain.

The parts of the nerve cell include the following:

  • the dendrites,

  • the cell body,

  • the axon and

  • the axon terminal.

The axon is part of the nerve cell that transmits electrical signals. it is surrounded by myelin sheath.

The myelin sheath is a fatty layer that insulates the axon and helps it transmit signals over long distances.

Therefore, the fatty substance that insulates and protects the axon is myelin sheath.

In horses, black color (B) is dominant over chestnut color (b). Find the genotype and phenotype ratios of a cross between a hybr
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Phenotype: 2:2 or 1:1 / Genotype: 2:2 or 1:1 / 50% probability for chestnut color

Explanation:

If we put the two horses' genotypes in a Punnett square:

         <u> B          b</u>

<u>b</u>        Bb        bb

<u>b</u>        Bb        bb

The phenotype is describing the ending color of the offspring, where 2 of the 4 will be brown (Bb) and 2 of the 4 will be chestnut (bb), resulting in a 2:2 ratio. Genotype only refers to the alleles, where 2 of the 4 will be hybrid (Bb) and 2 of the 4 will be homozygous recessive (bb), again resulting in a 2:2 ratio. There is only a 50% chance that the offspring's phenotype will be chestnut color (bb) because the chestnut allele is recessive.

Small hydrophilic molecules are transported through a cell membrane by
o-na [289]
Proteins which form channels may be utilized to enable the transport of water and other hydrophilic molecules; these channels are often gated to regulate transport rate. In facilitated transport, hydrophilic molecules bind to a "carrier" protein; this is a form of passive transport
