Match the following. 1. period during the life of a cell when it has finished mitotic division G1 phase 2. period during the lif
zimovet [89]

Ans.

The cell cycle includes a series of events that results in the formation of daughter cells from a single parent cell. These events include interphase, followed by M phase. The interphase consists of three phases, G0 (Gap 0) phase, G1 phase, S (synthesis) phase, G2 phase, while the M phase consists two phases, karyokinesis (mitotic or meiotic phase) and cytokinesis. At the end of cell cycle, cell enters into G0 phase again and the cycle goes subsequently.

The sequesnce of cell cycle events can be written as follows:

G0→G1→S→G2→M→G0→G1→....

Thus, according to the cell cycle sequence, these terms can be matched as:

1. When a cell finishes its mitotic division, it enters to G0 phase, which is also known as rest phase. Thus, statement 1. matches with G0 phase.

2. The period between end of mitosis and synthesis of genetic material for next mitotic division shows G1 phase, in which cell prepares itself for division. Thus, statement 2. matches with G1 phase.

3. The period of interphase between synthesis of new genetic material and the beginning of mitosis is G2. Thus, statement 3. matches with G2 phase.

4. The period between two mitotic division is interphase. Thus, statement 4. matches with interphase.

5. The period of cell division, during which a cell is performing actual cell division is M phase. Thus, statement 5. matches with M phase.

6. The period of interphase, during which genetic material gets doubled is synthesis or S phase. Thus, statement 6. matches with S phase.

Why was miasma theory replaced?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Miasma theory was replaced because John Snow collected data that showed that germs cause disease.

Explanation:

The theory of miasma was proposed in the past when some scientists —like doctors Thomas Sydenham and Giovanni Maria Lancisi— thought that disease was the product of emanations originated by the decomposition of organic matter. This theory was based on the fact that diseases predominated in places with poor hygienic conditions.

John Snow, an english physician, was one of the main contributors to the <u>microbial theory of disease</u>. In 1854, while a cholera epidemic was occurring, he collected data and organized it statistically and then concluded that the disease was caused by germs present in drinking water. This <u>data was contrary to the miasma theory, which would eventually be displaced by the microbial theory of the disease</u>.

How does deforestation affect the water cycle? A. It increases the amount of percolation. B. It increases the amount of transpir
netineya [11]
The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.

What are the benefits/risks associated with the addition of antibiotics and genetically modified
Korolek [52]
One major risk is mutation. Diseases can mutate just has how we have genetic mutations. The bacteria in the cattle may become immune to the drugs over a long period of time, or mutate and become immune. As we try to fight it with more antibiotics, it may become immune to those as well, eventually creating a bacteria immune to most antibiotics, leaving us unable to fight it, especially in poorer areas, due to the fact that if we did create new antibiotics they would be more expensive than your common antibiotic, such as penicillin.<span />
