A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 90 cells in interphase, 13 cells in prophase, 12 cells in metaphase, 3 cells i

n anaphase, and 2 cells in telophase. If a complete cycle for this type of cell requires 24 hours, what is the average duration of mitosis?

<span> Mitosis involves Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. 

So you have 
13 + 12 + 3 + 2 = 30 cells in mitosis 
and 
90 + 30 = 120 cells in total 

Therefore your ratio of cells in mitosis to total cells is 30 / 120 = 1 / 4. That means mitosis should take up roughly 1/4 of the total cell cycle length. Since the completely cycle takes 24 hours, mitosis would then take (1/4)*24 = 6 hours</span>

Diastole is the ________ phase of the cardiac cycle.
STatiana [176]
Diastole is the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle. It is the normal rhythmic dilation of the heart's valves. During this time, the valves start to gather blood inside of their chambers. There are two types of diastole that occur in the heart, and they are:

1. Ventricular diastole - this is the period where the ventricles are filling and relaxing. 
2. Atrial diastole - the period in which the atria are relaxing. 

This is a continuous cycle that occurs in the heart the moment a person is conceived until the person meets his/her death.

As DNA replication continues and the replication bubble expands, the parental double helix is unwound and separated into its two
Korolek [52]

Answer:

DNA replication is initiated by the help of these enzymes.

Explanation:

Helicase enzyme helps is unwinding the two complementary strand of DNA by hydrolysing the hydrogen bonds present between the nitrogenous bases of the two opposite strands.

Topoisomerase enzyme help in expansion of the Replication bubble by releasing the super coiling or tension occured while unwinding by helicase. It breaks the phosphate bonds in one of the two strands ahead of replication bubble or fork to release super coiling or overwinding.  

Single-strand binding proteins gets bind to the separated strands to stabilize the structure of Replication bubble or to keep the both strand separated from each other.

bagirrra123 [75]
All of the above points are valid for fossils' contributions in understanding the process of evolution. They allow us to study the ancestry, we can see the homologous organs or structures, if fossils are well-preserved; different fossils can lead us to follow the cycles of the changes that occurred during macroevolutions, and fossils can be used to study different populations which had different body structures for surviving in different environmental conditions.

Which type of skin glands are most affected by the hormonal changes that occur during puberty?
Anna [14]

Apocrine sweat glands  are most affected by the hormonal changes that occur during puberty.

What is puberty ?

Between childhood and adulthood, puberty is a time of rapid growth, the emergence of secondary sexual traits, the attainment of fertility, and significant psychological changes. Although the order in which pubertal changes occur is fairly predictable, their exact time varies greatly.

At puberty, sex hormones stimulate the apocrine sweat glands, which then begin to work. In the groin and axilla, they are linked to hair follicles. The thick, protein-rich substance has no smell at first but may acquire one after coming into contact with germs.
