matrenka [14]3 years ago
3 0
Asystole is defined as a cardiac arrest rhythm in which there is no discernible electrical activity on the ECG monitor. Asystole is sometimes referred to as a “flat line.” Confirmation that a “flat line” is truly asystole is an important step in the ACLS protocol.

Why are identical twins not considered clones?
CaHeK987 [17]
Identical twins could not be considered as clones for they are different individuals which came from the same egg and sperm. Clones are produced asexually, a copy of another organism. Even though identical twins share the same DNA, they have different qualities as of the other twin which makes them their own unique self.

Place the events in the correct order:
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1. Chromatin condense into chromosomes.

4. Homologous chromosomes pair up (formation of tetrads).

5. Homologous chromosomes separate and move to poles.

2. Sister chromatids separate.

3. Chromosomes unravel in to chromatin.

Explanation:

This question portrays the process of meiosis in a cell. The ordered sequence of events in the options are:

1. Chromatin condense into chromosomes - This process occurs in the Prophase stage. Prior to the cell division, the nuclear material is found as Chromatin material. This Chromatin material then undergoes condensation to form visible chromosomes.

4. Homologous chromosomes pair up (formation of tetrads) - This process also occurs during the Prophase stage of meiosis I. In this stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) are paired up side by side to form a structure known as TETRAD or BIVALENT.

5. Homologous chromosomes separate and move to poles - This process characterizes the Anaphase stage of meiosis I. Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell by spindle microtubules.

2. Sister chromatids separate - After meiosis I, meiosis II involving sister chromatids instead of homologous chromosomes follows. In the Anaphase stage of meiosis II specifically, sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell.

3. Chromosomes unravel in to chromatin - After the whole division process i.e. karyokinesis (division of the nuclear material), the chromosomes begin to unravel to form the CHROMATIN threads once again. This process occurs in the Telophase stage of meiosis.
