What has to happen before mitosis begins?

Leokris [45]3 years ago

Mitosis is simply a stage in a cells life cycle, which could be broken down further into stages of mitosis. The rest (so not mitosis) is know as Interphase and is where the cell does its normal function, so if it's the cell is in a region of muscle it would contract/relax as normal etc.

Immediately before mitosis (or M phase) is what's know as G2 phase, where the G stands for growth and is where particular gene pathways are expressed to promote growth of the volume of DNA (chromosomes are duplicated, so from 46 to 92). At the end of this stage is a checking process where the DNA is scrutinised for any errors, if all is okay then the cell can proceed to mitosis, if not then the process is stopped so that errors in copying the DNA can be fixed. This is know as a restriction point and the cell must meet the requirements to pass. This is often seen as a way cells can prevent damage being replicated and therefore interfering with normal cell processes. When cells are cancerous they are able to override this and therefore divide and spread the damaged DNA.

Which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion
Nana76 [90]
Well Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. And Diffusion<span> is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.</span>

Scientists originally thought cell membranes evolved before RNA. However, recent evidence suggests RNA developed before the memb
Darya [45]

Answer:

The need for replication, specialization, compartmentalization is key to understand that RNA evolved first

Explanation:

Logical contrast considering a certain catalytic activities of cardinal importance in the early evolution of life ;

• using an RNA molecule that is involved in to catalyzing the process of templated polymerization –selecting a random RNA molecule as a template.

• the ribozyme activity in this process must have engaged an in vitro process in a body part that no longer has a function such that it that can only synthesize moderate lengths of RNA

• when this molecules acts on the copies of itself can replicate

• when it acts on copies of other type of RNA molecules in its surrounding he can promote their replication

• a cooperative system might have evolved from the neighbors to help the survival of this friendly RNA molecules – through catalytic actions, such that a set of different types of RNA molecules evolves with a mark of specialization for different activity.

The development of individual compartments is proposed to be akin to the effective self-replicating systems.

• If RNA molecules are mutually beneficial they may serve the purposes of being specialized for templated polymerization.

• If these RNAs were free to diffuse among a large population of other RNA molecules, they could be assimilated into an established group by other replicating systems, which in turn may compete with the original RNA system for raw materials.

• The quality of the self-replicating systems they generated relies on the compartment that restricts the RNA molecules only to the system they serve.

• compartments started simply and perhaps had simple adsorption on surfaces or simple particles.

• compartmentalization became complex requiring a class of small molecules with varying physicochemical properties liike being amphipathic.

• This gave rise to the phospholipids mainly and the present-day cells often are coated by a plasma membrane consisting of amphipathic molecules in this configuration.

Describe how you get energy indirectly from the food that you eat
lidiya [134]
<span>Since we are not able to get energy directly from the food we eat, a particular process needs to take place that converts molecules to Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP. This requires that the food first be broken down by being digested. As digestion takes place, the body uses the small molecules to make ATP.</span>
