Yuki888 [10]3 years ago
3 0
Metaphase is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes on the equator of the cell. Metaphase is the third phase of mitosis , a type of cell division that takes place in the somatic cells where a parent cell divides into two identical diploid daughter cells. During this phases the cell's chromosomes align themselves at the middle of the cell, called the equator. The chromosomes, which have been replicated and remain joined at a central point called the centromere, are called sister chromatids.

Choose the true statement regarding second-order neurons.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

3. Second-order neuron cell bodies reside in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

The Anterolateral System, also called spinothalamic, carries information about pain, temperature, coarse touch or pressure, and itching and tickling sensations. This system mainly contains slow conduction fibers

The spinothalamic pathway can be subdivided into two: the neospinothalamic pathway the fibers project into the somatosensory cortex and the paleoespinothalamic pathway with projections at different points in the thalamus. The neospinotalamic pathway has the axons of the first-order neurons that establish synapses on second-order neurons, located in the dorsal horns of the spinal cord.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

D. The methyl group of acetyl CoA becomes radio-labeled

Explanation:

During the steps in glycolysis, the carbon at position 1, becomes C-1 in dihydroxyacetone phosphate during the cleavage of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Subsequently on isomerization of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, C-1 of dihydroxyacetone phosphate becomes C-3 of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

Furthermore, in pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, C-3 is converted to a methyl group which then becomes the methyl group in the acetyl-CoA molecule produced from the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate.

Since the radioactive 14-C of radio-labeled glucose occupies position 1, it will become the methyl group of acetyl-CoA.
