Answer:
Prophase
Explanation:
DNA is condensed and pairs of homologous chromosomes exchange sections of DNA.
Answer:
Ion
Explanation:
Covalent bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds. Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds because of the coulombic attraction between ions of opposite charges.
The function of phosphorus in plants is very important. It helps a plant convert other nutrients into usable building blocks with which to grow. Phosphorus is one of the main three nutrients most commonly found in fertilizers and is the “P” in the NPK balance that is listed on fertilizers.
The spear is 4620 years old.
N=N0e^-kt
N0 = initial amount of C-14 (at time t = 0)
N = amount of C-14 at time t
t = time, in years
k = 0.0001
N/N0 = e^-kt
we know N/N0 is 0.63
so we have:
0.63 = e^-kt
we can take the ln of both sides, leaving us with:
ln0.63 = -kt
t = ln0.63 / -(0.0001)
t = 4620 years
hope this helps with your thing!

Telomeres are regions that make up the end of each chromosome. These 5 nucleotide repeats help preserve the integrity of the DNA during replication. However, in each division, the telomeres shrink. Some scientists have seen in this mechanism a biological clock governing the aging of cells. Until now no one has shown a link between the two phenomena.
The size of the telomeres (the number of repetitions) varies from one individual to another at birth. At each replication cycle, the chromosomes shorten. This is because the enzyme responsible for its replication cannot copy the end of the chromosomes. It is estimated that 100 nucleotides decrease the size of telomeres by division in humans. When the telomeres become too short and before the genes are affected, or the chromosomes merge with each other, the cells stop their division and enter into senescence.
A single enzyme is able to extend the telomeres, telomerase. This enzyme is not active in somatic cells. However, there are somatic cells that are immortal, these are the cancer cells. They have lost control of their cell cycle and can divide indefinitely. This ability to multiply without limit is accompanied by the activation of telomerase.
