If errors occur at any one stage, the cell can stop cell division from progressing

Answer:

It is very important because mitosis is basically replicating your DNA to make more cells that are exact replicas of each other. This is essential because if they are not exact replicas your body's immune system might not recognize it and so it will attack its own body's cell.

There are certain checkpoints throughout mitosis to ensure that everything is going ok, but if we suppose the errors pass the checkpoint and the cell divides from one to two daughter cells. If there is a genetic defect, where one daughter cell has more and one daughter cell has less chromosomes, both will be affected by it. This is called Nondisjunction which is the result of failure of chromosomes to separate during mitosis. This leads to new cells with either extra or missing chromosomes; a condition called aneuploidy.

SO what happens, they might be killed by body's own immune system. There might be apoptosis, which is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms

Before Darwin, what was the common view of species?

GrogVix [38]

Evolutionary thought, the conception that species change over time, has roots in antiquity - in the ideas of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese as well as in medieval Islamic science. With the beginnings of modern biological taxonomy in the late 17th century, two opposed ideas influenced Western biological thinking: essentialism, the belief that every species has essential characteristics that are unalterable, a concept which had developed from medieval Aristotelian metaphysics, and that fit well with natural theology; and the development of the new anti-Aristotelian approach to modern science: as the Enlightenment progressed, evolutionary cosmology and the mechanical philosophy spread from the physical sciences to natural history. Naturalists began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of paleontology with the concept of extinction further undermined static views of nature. In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744 – 1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution.

Answer:

red will be the bottom layer

Explanation:

in order to find its density you have to do mass/volume.

Blue: 12/3 = 3

Clear: 10/5= 2

Red: 15/3= 5

Yellow: 18/9 = 2

The one with the greates valua aka greatest density will be at the bottom layer/

Answer: synthesize a pre-rRNA 45S (35S in yeast), which matures and will form the major RNA sections of the ribosome. RNA polymerase II synthesizes precursors of mRNAs and most snRNA and microRNAs. RNA polymerase III synthesizes tRNAs, rRNA 5S and other small RNAs found in the nucleus and cytosol.
