Actively dividing eukaryote cells pass through a series of stages known collectively as the cell cycle: two gap phases (G1 and G2); an S (for synthesis) phase, in which the genetic material is duplicated; and an M phase, in which mitosis partitions the genetic material and the cell divides.

G1 phase. Metabolic changes prepare the cell for division. At a certain point - the restriction point - the cell is committed to division and moves into the S phase.</span><span>
S phase. DNA synthesis replicates the genetic material. Each chromosome now consists of two sister chromatids.</span><span>
G2 phase. Metabolic changes assemble the cytoplasmic materials necessary for mitosis and cytokinesis.</span><span>
M phase. A nuclear division (mitosis) followed by a cell division (cytokinesis).</span></span>
The period between mitotic divisions - that is, G1, S and G2 - is known as interphase.
<span>Mitosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell. Chromosomes replicated during the S phase are divided in such a way as to ensure that each daughter cell receives a copy of every chromosome. In actively dividing animal cells, the whole process takes about one hour.</span>
Soil
Soil is the upper layer of the ground comprising of a mixture of sand, silt, clay, loose rock fragments, and organic matter that can support the growth of rooted plants. The relative proportions of sand, silt and clay determine the texture and size of the pores of the soil, which affects its ability to allow air and water to penetrate/infiltrate.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that due to dietary scarcity during human evolution, people are prone to obesity by storing energy as fat, an ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance and this is advantageous during times of food availability. individuals with greater adipose reserves would more likely survive famine. This tendency to store fat could lead to obesity.
FTO is an enzyme that is encoded in humans by FTO gene located on chromosome 16. Increase in this enzyme is associated with the regulation of energy intake but not feeding reward. Also, the set point theory indicates that bodies are meant to stay within a narrow weight range but it is susceptible to chnage overtime.
