Newton's law of gravity defines the attractive force between all objects that possess mass. Understanding the law of gravity offers profound insights into the way our universe functions. Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree. <span>Newton knew that the force which caused the apple's acceleration (gravity) must be dependent upon the mass of the apple. And since the force acting to cause the apple's downward acceleration also causes the earth's upward acceleration (Newton's third law), that force must also depend upon the mass of the earth. </span>

Which of the following normally occurs during mitosis?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

b. Replicated chromosomes line up on the equatorial plate.

Explanation:

Mitosis starts with the breakdown of the nuclear envelop and condensation of chromatids into visible chromosomes. Since DNA replication has occurred during the S-phase of interphase, each chromosome has two sister chromatids held together by a centromere. A chromosome with two sister chromatids is said to be a replicated chromosome.

Metaphase of mitosis includes the alignment of replicated chromosomes at the cell's equator. The process is assisted by the spindle apparatus. This is followed by splitting of centromere and separation of sister chromatids during anaphase.
