When unspecialized stem cells give rise to specialized cells, the process is called differentiation. ... The interaction of signals during differentiation causes the cell's DNA to acquire epigenetic marks that restrict DNA expression in the cell and can be passed on through cell division

Can heterotrophic anaerobic archaea survive in oxygen
Alika [10]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Most bacteria and archaea don't use oxygen to produce energy, and live an oxygen-free (anaerobic) existence. Some archaea produce methane as a by-product of their energy production, and are called methanogens.

Hope this helps!

In what ways are active transport, endocytosis,and exocytosis similar
stira [4]
Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes against a concentration gradient.
Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell

Explain how the random alignment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I
borishaifa [10]

The randomness in the alignment of recombined chromosomes at the metaphase plate, coupled with the crossing over events between nonsister chromatids, are responsible for much of the genetic variation in the offspring. To clarify this further, remember that the homologous chromosomes of a sexually reproducing organism are originally inherited as two separate sets, one from each parent. Using humans as an example, one set of 23 chromosomes is present in the egg donated by the mother. The father provides the other set of 23 chromosomes in the sperm that fertilizes the egg. Every cell of the multicellular offspring has copies of the original two sets of homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes form the tetrads. In metaphase I, these pairs line up at the midway point between the two poles of the cell to form the metaphase plate. Because there is an equal chance that a microtubule fiber will encounter a maternally or paternally inherited chromosome, the arrangement of the tetrads at the metaphase plate is random. Thus, any maternally inherited chromosome may face either pole. Likewise, any paternally inherited chromosome may also face either pole. The orientation of each tetrad is independent of the orientation of the other 22 tetrads.

If a fossil contains 50% of the amount of carbon that a living animal contains, how many half lives have passed while it decayed
vekshin1

The currently accepted value for the half-life of 14C is 5,730 years. This means that after 5,730 years, only half of the initial 14C will remain; a quarter will remain after 11,460 years; an eighth after 17,190 years; and so on.
