Answer:

10 chromosomes/sister chromatids

Explanation:

Prophase is the first stage of cell division (mitosis). Prior to the cell entering the actual division stage, it undergoes a phase where it prepares its content and most importantly undergo the duplication of its genetic material (DNA). This DNA are found as chromosomes. It undergoes replication of its DNA in the S-phase of interphase stage.

Since Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes, and each chromosome holds one DNA molecule, 10 molecules of DNA will be present in the mustard plant's genome. These 10 molecules of DNA will be replicated on another copy of chromosome which is identical to the template. This chromosomes are called SISTER chromatids i.e. replicated chromosome. Each sister chromatids are held together at the centromere and are considered one individual chromosome until they separate during anaphase stage.

Hence, at the Prophase stage, before separation, each sister chromatid (replicated chromosome) is considered as one chromosome. Thus, in the mustard plant with 10 chromosomes, it will possess 10 sister chromatids or chromosomes at the Prophase stage.

N.B: When sister chromatids separate during anaphase stage, they will be regarded as individual chromosomes.

Which term best describes the interval between the birth of the newborn and the return of the reproductive organs to their norma
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B. Puerperium, or fourth trimester of pregnancy

Explanation:

  • Puerperium or the fourth trimester of pregnancy is also known as the postpartum period.
  • This period starts immediately after the mother gives birth to a child.
  • During this period the size of the uterus and other reproductive organs along with the hormone levels return to their normal state.
  • It is the phase where regression of all the anatomical and physiological changes that took place i in the reproductive organs of the females takes place.
  • This phase is divided int three periods -

1. Immediate puerperium, or the first 24 hours after parturition

2. Early puerperium, which extends until the first week postpartum;

3. Remote puerperium, which includes the period required for involution of the genital organs and return of menses, usually approximately 6 weeks.

  • This phase is highly critical for the mother as this requires rest and proper care as there are risks of bleeding. Therefore, the midwife or the nurse must take proper care of the mother.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

A student has been studying electrical circuits in class. The student suggests that replacing a wire with rubber tubing will stop the current from flowing through a circuit. Which term best describes this idea?

Hypothesis

Explanation:

From the analogy, it is expedient to know that the student assertion about the electrical circuits was an hypothesis because it gives room for further investigation by other scholars.

Every DNA strand has an EQUAL number of adenine and thymine nucleotides in a molecule. Explain why.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

This is the basis for Chargaff's rule; because of their complementarity, there is as much adenine as thymine in a DNA molecule and as much guanine as cytosine. Adenine and thymine are connected by two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine and guanine are connected by three hydrogen bonds
