Reproduction, growth, renewal and repair are all reasons for cell division in multicellular organisms.
Cell division is a process that allows a parent cell divides into more smaller cells. It is classified as mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces diploid cells that will be used for growth or repairing tissue. Meiosis will produce gamete that has a role in reproduction.
Answer and Explanation:
The gene pool is the sum of all the alleles in a population. Sometimes, allele frequencies within a population change randomly with no advantage to the population over existing allele frequencies. This phenomenon is called genetic drift.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Tetrodotoxin is the molecules that act as a poison to the organism in which they are injected.
The tetrodotoxin proves lethal to the organisms as it kills the organism by interfering with the nervous system. The tetrodotoxin blocks the sodium channels in the neuron as a result of which the sodium is unable to enter the neurons and hence the electrical impulse is not generated.
If the tetrodotoxin blocks the motor neuron transmission by blocking the sodium channels then the signals will not reach the muscle and muscle will not be able to contract.
Thus, true is correct.
Answer:
After 48 hours amount left = 6.25 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Half life of potassium = 12 hours
Total mass = 100 g
Mass left after 48 hours = ?
Solution:
Number of half lives passed:
Number of half lives = Time elapsed / half life
Number of half lives = 48 hours/ 12 hours
Number of half lives = 4
At time zero = 100 g
At first half life = 100 g/ 2 = 50 g
At 2nd half life = 50 g/2 = 25 g
At 3rd half life = 25 g/2 = 12.5g
At 4th half life = 12.5 g/2 = 6.25 g
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. One of the main reason is that the larger cell become more demanding, therefore the large cell will increase load on the machinery of the cell such as DNA. The other reason is that if the cell grow too large it will be difficult for the cell to move for nutrients and discard the waste across the cell membrane. Also the surface area for each cell will also be reduced, which is required for active functionality of a cell.
