The three stages of interphase are G1, S and G2 phases.

Explanation:

The events that takes place before cell division is termed as interphase. It is the phase of preparing cell for division also called resting phase. Interphase of the cell is marked by DNA synthesis.

The cell cycle is basically divided into two discrete phases:

Interphase and mitosis

Interphase is further divided into 3 phases:

G1,S and G2 phases

G1 Phase or first gap phase: Cell size increases in this phase, organelles are made, enzymes for replication is synthesized, nutrients are stored and various molecular subunits synthesized as a preparatory measure for DNA replication.

S- PHASE or synthesis phase: Replication of DNA takes place in the cell nucleus, centrosome is duplicated for cell division in mitosis.

G-2 phase or second gap phase: The proteins required for cell division are synthesized, cell grows much bigger. It is an important checkpoint of cell growth. Cancer cells skip the G2 phase and gets uncontrolled division. Lysosomes and mitochondria multiply in this phase so as to divide in two cells. If repair in DNA is required it is done in this phase only.

This is actually not a question. You are going to have to re-read it. If you are asking it as a question it will look like this: "When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, do all the points in the body have the same angular acceleration?"

in which location is water most likely to be transferred the fastest from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere?

Archy [21]

Probably smaller bodies of water, as less water will heat up and evaporate faster.

Define and give an example for the term; Prey definition for biology

Alexandra [31]

Prey or predation is a biological interaction where a predator (an organism, often an animal) kills and eats its prey (another organism).

Like a mouse getting caught and eaten by a bird of prey (Eagles, hawks, etc.)

Where are the three seismographs used to find the epicenter of this earthquake located?

8090 [49]

Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. From that information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling. Knowing this helps them calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.

To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter. Where these three circles intersect is the epicenter.

1) As the body's chemical messengers, _____________________ transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to anoth

trapecia [35]

Answer:

1) As the body's chemical messengers, hormones transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another.

2) A gland is a group of cells that produces and secretes, or gives off, chemicals.

3) Hormones are released into the bloodstream via small tubes called duct.

4) Hormones find their way through the blood to their targeted/respective cells.

5) Each hormone is a differently shaped key that will only fit into the correct receptor lock.
