Answer:

Explanation

Usually, cells will take between 5 and 6 hours to complete S phase. G2 is shorter, lasting only 3 to 4 hours in most cells. In sum, then, interphase generally takes between 18 and 20 hours. Mitosis, during which the cell makes preparations for and completes cell division only takes about 2 hours.

How does non-human life in an urban ecosystem differ from that in an undeveloped forest ecosystem?

sergejj [24]

Here is the answer of the given question above.
Often times, non-human life in an urban ecosystem is more disturbed in a way that changes happen rapidly, such as the soil and plant cover and temperature and water availability. In this kind of ecosystem, there is no stability and sustainability. On the other hand, in an undeveloped forest ecosystem, plants play a major role and that, the lives in this kind of ecosystem is undisturbed, making it more ideal for many animals to live. Hope this answer helps.

Which describes step three of a muscle contraction?

masha68 [24]

The answer is step 3. Nerve impulse on a muscle cell induces release of calcium ions

Steps of a muscle contraction are:
1. Nerve impulse travels down the axon and causes a release of acetylcholine.
2. Acetylcholine binds to the receptor of a muscle cell.
3. Nerve impulse on a muscle cell induces a release of calcium ions.
4. Calcium ions induce exposing of myosin to actin.
5. Sliding of actin filaments past myosin filaments.
6. The muscle contract.

A couple plans to have a child. the mother is homozygous for an autosomal recessive mutation. the father is heterozygous for the

adoni [48]

Answer:

The possible genotypes of the children are Hh and hh.
The probability of genotype Hh = 1/2
The probability of genotype hh = 1/2

Explanation:

Autosomal genes are the genes present on any of the chromosomes except the sex chromosomes.

An autosomal recessive mutation is the mutation in an autosomal gene which only expresses itself in the phenotype in homozygous condition and affects both males and female equally.

For the given question, let the autosomal gene be represented by H (dominant) and h (recessive)

According to the question,

Since the mother is homozygous her genotype would be hh and the father is heterozygous so his genotype would be Hh.

The following cross is made to know the genotypes of the children :

hh X Hh--------> Hh Hh hh hh

So the possible genotypes of the children are Hh and hh as shown in the cross.

Note : An image is attached representing the cross in a Punnett square.

The probability of an event = No. of favourable outcomes/total no. of outcomes

The probability of occurrence of genotype Hh would be = 2/4 = 1/2

Similarly, the probability of occurrence of genotype hh would be 2/4 = 1/2
