Why is it important for the chromosomes to condense during mitosis?

Biology
1 answer:
likoan [24]4 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer</u>:

It is important for the chromosomes to condense during mitosis to facilitate chromosome movement.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The chemical called colchicine is found to be used during the process of mitosis, so as to freeze the cells, which can stop or prevent the movement of the chromosomes. This process is also essential for the faithful genome replication or transmission to those daughter cells. During the interphase cell division occurs but during the prophase the cell condensation is found to be happening. Before the process of the mitosis chromosomes are allowed to move and during this entangled and breaking were also noticed.

How is passive transport different from active transport?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Passive transport does not require energy. The substances follow the concentration gradient, meaning they go from high to low. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient. Substances go from low to high, so it requires energy.

Which mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?
melomori [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

A) a duplication of all or most introns

B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions

C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain

D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand

Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:

Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.

The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.

Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site .

How do DNA mutations change proteins?
Aleksandr [31]
A missense mutation is a mistake in the DNA which results in the wrong amino acid being incorporated into a protein because of change, that single DNA sequence change, results in a different amino acid codon which the ribosome recognizes.
