I believe the correct answer is telophase.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Cytokinesis is part of and overlaps with the telophase stage of mitosis. It occurs in some cells and in some it does not occur. It leads to the formation of the 2 identical daughter cells.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>

The cell cycle is divided into 2 phases; the interphase and mitotis phase. The interphase has 4 stages called the G1, S, G2 and G0 stage. The mitosis phase is the last phase of the cell cycle and is further divided into:

<h3>Prophase:</h3>

Here the cell prepares for cell division and accumulates proteins and doubles its number of organelles. It also stores large amounts of energy in preparation for the exhausting mitosis phase. The nucleus membrane dissociates and organelles are spread out in the cell.

<h3>Prometaphase:</h3>

The prophase stage continues and there is condensation of chromosomes. The nucleus also continues to disintegrate and special microtubules will bind to the center regions of the chromosomes.

<h3>Metaphase:</h3>

Microtubules pull the chromosomes at the center and orient them at the equator of the cell to form the metaphase plate of the cell.

<h3>Anaphase:</h3>

Chromosomes are liberated and pulled towards the centrosome while pointing to the opposite poles by the shortening microtubules. The cell is pulled by fibers into an oval shape contrary to its circular shape.

<h3>Telophase:</h3>

This is the last stage of cellular division for some cells. The chromosomes are housed in different regions of the forming daughter cells and they unravel in enclosures called the nucleus envelope.

<h3>Cytokinesis:</h3>

This is the last phase of mitosis. A ring forms in the cell at the equator and beigns to tighten pinching the cell and forming a furrow. It continues to tighten the cell at the center until it pinches the cell into 2 daughter cells that are identical. When the constricting actin filaments make contact at the center, the cells separate and begin life as different cells. This phase overlaps with the telophase stage and can go hand in hand or not take place at all. It it does not take place, a cell with multiple nuclei is formed.

Cytokinesis generally overlap with the typical cell cycle in the telophase stage. Telophase is the last stage of mitosis; where the sister chromatids reach opposite poles. Telophase and cytokinesis occur simultaneously, during cytokinesis the cell splits in two once the DNA has been replicated and pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

What is one of the functions controlled by the cerebellum? A. balance B. digestion C. respiration D. memory

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

A. Balance

Explanation:

The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity. It is also important for learning motor behaviors.

Which statement is true A.An organism is part of a community. B.Acommunity is part of population C.An ecosystem is made up of on

NikAS [45]

<h2>(A) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

An organism is part of a community is correct,where species interaction occurs between different organisms
A community is part of population is the incorrect statement because a community includes group of population of two or more different species
An ecosystem is made up of only organisms is the incorrect statement because ecosystem is the community of both living and non living components of the environment and how they interact with each other
A biome is the biotic part of an ecosystem is incorrect because biome includes the community of both plants and animals occupying a large habitat

A mother, 13 years of age, delivers a low-birth-weight neonate. The neonate is transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

The excessive alcohol consumption of the mother.

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy harms the developing baby, the foetus. This is because alcohol passes from the mother's blood to the baby's blood and this affects the growth of the baby's cell.

This causes severe damage to the cells of the brain and the spinal cord.

FASD - Fetal Alcohol Spectrums Disorder is characterised by growth and developmental problems and it can range from mild to severe.

Example is the baby having small head, narrow eye and behavioural problems later in life.
