During an interphase lasting 23 hours the S stage takes average 8.0 hours.What is the percentage of interphase is taken up by S

stage?
Biology
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
8 0

The right answer is 34.78%

The interphase is the period of the cell cycle that the cell transcribes its genes and the chromosomes are duplicated. It can be subdivided into several phases:

* phase G1

* phase S: during which the chromosomal material is doubled by DNA replication. This is called chromosome duplication.

* phase G2.

Phase G1 is the longest phase of the interphase (its duration depends on the type of cell), followed by phase S, then phase G2.

To calculate the proportion of phase S in the interphase simply make the division:

phase duration S / interphase duration = 8/23 = 0.3478 (in percentage that is 34.78% (0.3478*100)).

What is the main source of carbon in an ecosystem?
sleet_krkn [62]

The main source of carbon dioxide in an ecosystem is the carbon dioxide gas present in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is used by the  plants and animals in different ways.

The plants use this carbon dioxide to perform the process of photosynthesis.This is carried out by the help of green pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs light from the sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide from atmosphere.

The carbon in animals comes when they eat these plants.

The table shiws data for two groups of plants, one grown with fertilizer and the other without fertilizer​
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

33.5

Explanation:

the mean height is the average. Simply add up the height of all the plants with fertilizer and divide by 5 (Being the amount of plants with fertilizer)

30.5+32.1+40.6+30.5+33.8 = 167.5

167.5/5 = 33.5

AH(average height)= 33.5

A mutation in a gene for normal production of plant chlorophyll results in a plant without chlorophyll. Explain the consequences
Nezavi [6.7K]
A plant without chlorophyll would not be able to photosynthesise because chlorophyll serves to absorb sunlight, which is used to break apart the bonds in water during photosynthesis. A plant that is unable to photosynthesise is not able to create glucose, hence it would likely die unless it was receiving glucose through another source. This is because the plant relies on the energy it gets from breaking down glucose for important internal functions.
