1. Mitosis takes place within somatic cells (cells that make up the body). Meiosis takes place within gamete cells (sex cells). 


2. One single division of the mother cell results in two daughter cells. Two divisions of the mother cell result in four meiotic products or haploid gametes. 


3. A mitotic mother cell can either be haploid or diploid. A meiotic mother cell is always diploid. 


4. The number of chromosomes per nucleus remains the same after division. The meiotic products contain a haploid (n) number of chromosomes in contrast to the (2nd) number of chromosomes in the mother cell. 


5. It is preceded by an S-phase in which the amount of DNA is duplicated. In meiosis, only meiosis I is preceded by an S-phase. 


6. In mitosis, there is no pairing of homologous chromosomes. During prophase I, complete pairing of all homologous chromosomes takes place. 


7. There is no exchange of DNA (crossing-over) between chromosomes. There is at least one crossing-over or DNA exchange per homologous pair of chromosomes. 


8. The centromeres split during anaphase. The centromeres do separate during anaphase II, but not during anaphase I. 


9. The genotype of the daughter cells is identical to that of the mother cells. Meiotic products differ in their genotype from the mother cell. 


10. After mitosis, each daughter cell has exactly same DNA strands. After meiosis, each daughter cell has only half of the DNA strands

You are attempting to re-create the mouse/human hybrid cell fusion experiment described in your screencasts. You believe you are
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "The phospholipids in this procedure had a shorter average fatty acid tail length than in the original experiment".

Explanation:

One factor that affects the speed at which fluorescent proteins achieve an even distribution is the length of the average fatty acid tails. Cell hybrids are produced by the fusion of two cells, which means that the genomic content of each cell must surpass the cell membrane barrier. The shorter the average fatty acid tails of the phospholipids in the cell membrane are, the faster the cell fusion will occur and the faster the fluorescent proteins will achieve an even distribution.

An organic molecule will always contain _____. a.carbon b.carbon and hydrogen c.hydrogen d.O, H, and C
Yanka [14]
An organic molecule will always contain CARBON. 
The correct option is A.
An organic molecule or compound refers to a chemical entity in which one or more atoms of carbon are bonded covalently with atoms of other elements. Because of the number of valence electron that carbon possess, it has the capacity to form different types of chemical bond with different types of elements.
