The correct answer is: B) G1

Normal cells (unlike cancer cells), move through the cell cycle in a regulated way in order to make sure that cells don't divide under conditions that are unfavorable for them. Information about their own internal state (nutrients, signal molecules, DNA integrity) is signal to go or not to go through the cell division. Because of that there are few checkpoints in the cell cycle at which the cell examines the signals and makes a “decision”. The major checkpoints are:

• The G1- the first point at which it must choose, once it passes the G1 checkpoint the cell enters S phase

• The G2-the cell checks DNA integrity and checks if replication is done well.

• The spindle checkpoint-at the transition from metaphase to anaphase.

If you observed the sister chromatids separating during cell division, what phase of mitosis would you be observing?

Sidana [21]

This is the anaphase of mitosis. Anaphase is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids or "pulling away" of the sister chromatids from the metaphase plate to the opposite spindle poles. This is also the phase where chromosomes reach its maximum condensation meaning that the process of the reformation of the nucleus will be shorter and easier.

What is the basic unit of classification and is denoted by a unique two-part scientific name?.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Species is the basic unit of classification denoted by a unique two-part scientific name.

<h3>What is meant by species? </h3>

Species is a name given to a group of organisms which have similar individuals. They are capable of reproducing among themselves and thus exchanging genes among themselves.

Species is the lowest of taxa and is thus the most basic unit of classification. Genus is the next taxonomic rank of the next taxa on the hierarchy of classification.

It is estimated that on earth, there are 8.7 million species living currently. This concept of species is from the times of Aristotle.

Therefore, species is the basic unit of classification denoted by a unique two-part scientific name.

Answer:

The Golgi apparatus is especially developed in cells that have functions related to the secretion of substances, such as cells of the nervous or endocrine system.

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus is the organelle responsible for most of the modifications that lipids and proteins undergo once their synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has been completed, that is, the Golgi apparatus is a cellular organ whose function is to manage the proteins synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum in order to transform and export them to the rest of the body. It is made up of flattened cisterns (middle zone) with an entrance zone or face and an exit zone. The proteins enter the Golgi apparatus and are later transported to these cisterns where they are modified by enzymes.
