Answer:

The cells would most likely get arrested in the metaphase stage.

Explanation:

Certain points found in the cell cycle of eukaryotes, at which the advancement of the cell to the next stage of the cycle can be prevented until and unless all the conditions become favorable are known as the check points. One of these checkpoints is the M checkpoint, which is found close to the termination of the mitosis metaphase stage.

It is also known as the spindle checkpoint as it determines the accurate attachment of the sister chromatids with the spindle microtubules. At the time of the anaphase stage, the distinction of the sister chromatids is an irreversible step, thus, unless and until each sister chromatids pair are attached strongly with the spindle fibers originating from the reverse poles of the cell, the cycle will not progress further.

Therefore, if all the chromosomes are not attached to the mitotic spindle the M checkpoint will not allow the cell to go the next stage and will arrest the cell in the metaphase stage.

Arrange the events to describe how an earthquake

Aneli [31]

The correct chronological order in which an earthquake occurs.

1. The plate suddenly move.

2. Stored energy is released in the form of seismic waves.

3. Due to the movement in the mantel, compression goes on increasing.

4. The earth surface vibrate.

When the plate move from the surface of the earth, all the stored energy present in it is usually released in the form of seismic energy waves and due to the movement in the mantel, compression goes on increasing, then after , the earth surface vibrate.

Hope it has helped:-)

Comparing amino acid sequences in proteins has been used to determine the relatedness of organisms. Below is a graphic that show

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

A) Species A and E are more closely related than either species are related to species D.

B) Between A and B = 99.1%

Between species A and C =97.5%

Between species B and C = 97.3%

Similarity in amino acids sequence reflects similarity in DNA sequence

C) Species A and E are most closely related

D) Species A and E have the most similarity in amino acid sequence, and hence DNA sequence.

Explanation:

A) The amino acid sequences of the protein, keratin, in species A and D has a difference of about 19 whereas species A and E have a difference of only 1. Therefore, it means that keratin in species A and D will have differences in structure whereas between species A and E, they would have almost the same structure.

Also, species D and E have a difference of 20 in their amino acids sequence, therefore, the structure of keratin in both species will have differences in structure.

B) Similarity between A and B:

450 - 4 = 446

In percentage: 446/450 × 100% = 99.1%

Similarity between A and C:

450 - 11 = 439

In percentage: 439/450 × 100% = 97.5%

Similarity between B and C:

450 -12 = 438

In percentage: 438/450 × 100% = 97.3%

The sequence of DNA of species determines their amino acid sequences because information in DNA is transcribed to RNA which are then used to make proteins. Therefore, if a species are very closely related, they are expected to have very similar genetic sequences and thus proteins too. This is reflected in similarity between amino acid sequences in their proteins.

C). Species A and E are most closely related.

D) Species A and E have only a single difference in their amino acids sequence for Keratin. This translates to about 99.7% similarity which is the highest among all the species compared. Therefore, species A and E are most closely related.
