The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the series of events that takes place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication). In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotes), the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus (eukaryotes), the cell cycle can be divided in two brief periods: interphase—during which the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis and duplicating its DNA—and the mitosis (M) phase, during which the cell splits itself into two distinct cells, often called "daughter cells". The cell-division cycle is a vital process by which a single-celled fertilized egg develops into a mature organism, as well as the process by which hair, skin, blood cells, and some internal organs are renewed.

How could you use a microscope to help determine whether a specimen is a living or nonliving thing

lara [203]

Whether living or non living:
When you put a sample of tissue under a microscope, if u can see a cell membrane, and can identify some cell structures like nucleus, mitochondria, vacuoles etc. , it was living, if not, its a non living thing.

However some cells don't have a nucleus( eg. prokaryotic cells), but all cells have a cell membrane or some sort of protective covering to contain the cell's insides. 

To check if your specimen maybe-once living, maybe-still living "something", is living, get a look at it through an electron microscope - thats the best microscope ever- and see if the mitochondria's making any ATP( adenosine triphosphate, source of energy for most organisms), if it does, its living. If not, non living. :)

In fruit flies, gray bodies (G) are dominant over black bodies (g), and red eyes (R) are dominant over orange eyes (r). Each ind

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The predicted genotype of the offspring is GgRr.

Explanation:

The gray body is dominant over black body. The genotype of gray body is GG and the genotype of black body is gg. Red eyes are dominant over orange eyes. The genotype for red eye is RR whereas the genotype of orange eye is rr.

GGRR is crossed with ggrr, the offspring produced by this cross is GgRr with gray body and red eyes.

GGRR × ggrr

GgRr.

Answer:

Now i know that natural resources are important because they are used to make our food and fuel. all of the food we eat comes from plants and animals and if we didnt have plants or animals we wouldnt exist right now. natural resources are important also because they make our fuel and they provide heat, light, and power. they are the main thing we need to survive. we have to protect and conserve natural resources!
