Answer:

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

Explanation:

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.

11. If a single mutation turns off the growth of some pairs of legs within an organism, what's most likely affected?

Lana71 [14]

The answer is hox gene.

Hox genes are responsible for an embryo's body plan. They determine different body structures - legs, vertebrae, antennae, wings, depending on groups. Mutation in hox genes is serious mutation since it affects the early stages of embryo and consequently, normal development. If a mutation occurs in the hox gene for legs growth, the legs will not develop.

What is the purpose of natural selection

madam [21]

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.

Explain the differences in the three types of RNA by connecting it to a factory.

kykrilka [37]

${\huge{\sf{\green{\underline {\underline {Answer }}}}}}$

Three major types of RNA are mRNA, or messenger RNA, that serve as temporary copies of the information found in DNA; rRNA, or ribosomal RNA, that serve as structural components of protein-making structures known as ribosomes; and finally, tRNA, or transfer RNA, that ferry amino acids to the ribosome to be assembled .

RNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to ribosomes for the synthesis of proteins; while tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosomes to assist the protein biosynthesis, and on the other hand, rRNA provides the structural framework for the formation of ribosomes.
