cells have checkpoints to regulate when the cell can move on to the next stage of the cycle. true or false

Biology

Kisachek [45]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cell cycle checkpoints are an important layer of control of the cell cycle. The cell cycle is a process by which cells divide.

There are 4 stages of the cell cycle G1, G2, S and M.

When the cell goes through the cell cycle, each stage has different processes that must occur for the cell to properly divide. During G1, the cell must grow to sufficient size and the environment must be favorable for cell division. During S phase, all the DNA must be properly replicated. during G2 the cell must prepare for division. During M, the cell actually divides.

There are 3 checkpoints throughout the cell cycle. The G1 checkpoint ensures the cell has reached sufficient size. The G2 checkpoint ensures the DNA has been properly replicated. The M checkpoint makes sure the chromosomes are properly attached to the spindles to split the DNA between 2 new cells.

Without these checkpoints, the cell can divide uncontrollably which can lead to cancer.

Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. Appalachian 2. North American Cordillera 3. Aleutian 4. Andes A. Two continents
melisa1 [442]

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.

A scientist develops a chemical that prevents golgi bodies from functioning. contrast the specific effects the chemical would ha
snow_lady [41]

The role of the Golgi body or Golgi apparatus is to package the proteins in vesicles and target it to their respective place of function. Example, the receptor proteins that are synthesised in the Endoplasmic Reticulum will be sent to the Golgi body for its packaging into the vesicles that bind and fuse with the cell membrane. The targeting is done by the special set of markers present on the secreted vesicle. All the eukaryotic cells have a Golgi apparatus. When chemical treatment is done to stop its functioning, the cell stops functioning and eventually dies due to the hampered targeting of proteins to the various organelle. On the other hand, prokaryotic cells lack Golgi body as the cell size is small enough to allow for the synthesised protein to move by diffusion to its target. Hence no effect will be seen when prokaryotic cells are treated with that chemical.
