Why do you take the DNA out of a somatic cell instead of taking it out of a sex cell?

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells; this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Prior to each mitotic division, a copy of every chromosome is created; thus, following division, a complete set of chromosomes is found in the nucleus of each new cell. Indeed, apart from random mutations, each successive duplicate cell will have the same genetic composition as its parent, due to the inheritance of the same chromosome set and similar biological environment. This works well for replacing damaged tissue or for growth and expansion from an embryonic state.

Because the genes contained in the duplicate chromosomes are transferred to each successive cellular generation, all mitotic progeny are genetically similar. However, there are exceptions. For example, there are genetic variations that arise in clonal species, such as bacteria, due to spontaneous mutations during mitotic division.

What is the process of self-consciousness, in which we create and recreate who we are, know as?

Likurg_2 [28]

Identity process theory proposes that adjustment to aging can be conceptualized as involving the three processes of identity assimilation (maintaining self-consistency), identity accommodation (making changes in the self), and identity balance (maintaining a sense of self but changing when needed.)

Particle x moves along the positive x-axis so that its position at time t ~ 0 is given by x(t) = 5t 3 - 9t 2 + 7. at what time t

Arada [10]

Answer: 1.2 seconds

Explanation:

$At the farthest point the velocity of particle will be zero. \ Differentiating the given equation of position and equating it with zero:$$\begin{aligned}x(t) &=5 t^{3}-9 t^{2}+7 \\x^{\prime}(t) &=15 t^{2}-18 t \\0 &=15 t^{2}-18 t \\t(15 t-18) &=0 \\t &=0 \\t &=\frac{18}{15}=1.2 \mathrm{~s}\end{aligned}$

$$$Thus, at $t=1.2 \mathrm{~s}$ particle will be at the farthest point. \\\\\underline{Justification:}\\The particle moves towards the left from $t \in[0,1.2)$. After that particle keeps moving in the positive x-direction.$

1974 - United States v. Nixon

This decision established that executive privilege is neither absolute nor unqualified.
Situation: President Richard Nixon's taped conversations from 1971 onward were the object of subpoenas by both the special prosecutor and those under indictment in the Watergate scandal. The president claimed immunity from subpoena under executive privilege.
The Court decided against Nixon 8-0.

Historical significance:
The president is not above the law. After the Court ruled on July 24, 1974, Richard Nixon resigned
