The Geocentric theory asserts on the idea that the Earth is the center of the Solar System. The geocentric theory first started with the Greeks, mainly the philosopher Ptolemy in his Ptolemaic system, popular model of this theory. In which Ptolemy suggested that the circular pattern of the whole system shaped and equant –a mid of an epicycle moves at a constant and similar speed. But when Copernicus’ heliocentric model of the solar system came about, this theory was abandoned. As the scientific society has proven that Copernicus theory was more precise with the use of telescopes, and etc. proved that the Sun was indeed the center of the universe. Supported by different space expeditions this model was long forgotten. <span> </span>

What is the part of the cell cycle process by which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chrom

Damm [24]

Answer:

Mitotic phase

Explanation:

Cell cycle is composed of interphase and mitotic phase. Interphase is aphase of cell preparation. It is subdivided into:

G1 (gap 1 phase)-the cell grows and becomes larger
S phase- replication of DNA, duplication of centrosomes
G2 (gap 2 phase)-proteins and oranelles are made

Mitotic phase is phase of cell division, chromosomes are separated, daughter cell get identical sets of chromosomes. It is followed by cytokinesis-separation of cytoplasm. Stages of mitosis are:

prophase-condensation of chromatin into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, mitotic spindle formation
metaphase-the chromosmes line up (metaphase plate)
anaphase-the siste chromatides move toward opposite cell poles
telophase-the nuclear envelope forms again, cell division is almost complete
