How many new volumes would each new cell contain whenever a cell splits?
Elenna [48]
The specific volume will be different for various kinds of cells. The safe answer would be that the new cell will pretty much have the same volume as the one that it divided from. This is true for most eukaryotic cells unless other factors like epigenetics or mutations come into place.

One example of moments a cell would increase in volume is during hypertrophy. This simply means that the cell is increasing in size (compared to: hyperplasia -- which is an increase in number of the cells). Hypertrophy is definitely an increase in volume of the cell but this doesn't necessarily translate to cell division (i.e. just because the cell is big now, doesn't mean it will still be big when it divides).

Another moment of increasing volume of the cell and now also related to cell division would be during the two stages in the cell cycle (i.e., G1 and G2 phases). This is the growth phase of the cell preparing to divide. However when mitosis or division happens, the cells will normally end with the same volume as when it started.

This are safe generalizations referring to the human cells. It would help if a more specific kind of cell was given.

Alleles can be described as 1. dominant 11. recessive III. codominant IV. partially dominant V. incompletely dominant O A. I, II
joja [24]

Answer:

A. I, II, III, and V only

Explanation:

In genetics, an allele refers to the specific form of a gene, which encodes traits. These alleles are usually in pairs in a diploid organism i.e. an organism with two sets of chromosomes. According to Gregor Mendel,

- An allele can either be DOMINANT when the allele masks the phenotypic expression of its allelic pair while the allele that is masked is said to be RECESSIVE.

- Two alleles can also be CO-DOMINANT when the two alleles are neither dominant or recessive over one another but are simultaneously expressed in that particular gene.

- Alleles can also be INCOMPLETELY DOMINANT when one allele is not completely dominant over the other, hence, forms a third intermediate phenotype when in combination with the second allele i.e. in an heterozygous state.

Based on this, an allele can be dominant (I), recessive (II), codominant (III), and incompletely dominant (V).

What are the strengths and weakness of focus group<br> data method?
Arada [10]

Answer:

The strengths of a focus group are:

-it gives the moderator more open ideas to work with.

-it has low cost compared to other data methods.

-it speeds up the result collection of the selected topic.

Weaknesses of focus group are:

*It takes effort to assemble the group members.

*Complex data analysis.

*No individual answers.

Explanation:

Focus groups usually involves a number of participants having an open discussion on a specific topic, set by a moderator, usually the person that comes up with the specific topic for focus. The function of a focus group is to collect data through group interactions on a selected topic.

The strengths of a focus group are:

-it gives the moderator more open ideas to work with.

-it has low cost compared to other data methods.

-it speeds up the result collection of the selected topic.

Weaknesses of focus group are:

*It takes effort to assemble the group members.

*Complex data analysis.

*No individual answers.
