Answer:
Interphase
Explanation:
When a cell inst actively dividing, it is in a stage called interphase which is where a cell spends the majority of its time. During interphase, cells need to replicate their DNA so they have DNA to divide during mitosis.
Answer:
B.) High blood viscosity leads to slower blood flow.
Explanation:
:D
Answer:
The correct answer is "option a. it is likely it will pass to the offspring; option b. it is not very likely that it will pass to the offspring".
Explanation:
In order that a mutation could be passed to the offspring it is necessary that the affected DNA can be transmitted to the following generation. A single bacteria that contains a positive mutation in its DNA is likely to pass its mutation to the offspring since it multiples by binary fission. On the other hand, a skin cell most likely will not pass its mutation to the offspring since a skin cell is not involved in the organism reproduction, such as a sexual cell.
Answer:
Viruses replicate only inside host cells.
Explanation:
<u>Viruses are not used as evidence to support the cell theory because they are not considered a cell and cannot carry out vital life processes without getting into host cells. </u>
According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life, all living organisms are made up of cells and cells arose from preexisting cells. A virus that is not in a host cell is just a piece of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not capable of carrying out any life process for it to be considered living.
<em>Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they get access to a living host. They use the genetic mechanisms of the host to replicate their DNA/RNA using the lytic or lysogenic cycle. Hence, they are not used to support the cell theory. </em>
