Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

  • <em>the G_0 phase,</em>
  • <em>the G_1 phase,</em>
  • <em>the S phase; and</em>
  • <em>the G_2 phase</em>.

The G_0 phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the G_1 phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the G_2 phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of G_2 phase.

The correct option is b.

Scientists have conducted multiple experiments on cancer cells to determine how they reproduce. All studies have shown the same
Sonbull [250]

Cancer cells reproduce the same way the other cells reproduce. The difference between cancer cells and others is that their reproduction is uncontrollable. They constantly go through the cell cycle and they reproduce. Two ways cell reproductions are meiosis and mitosis. DNA duplicates itself. Cancer is incessantly receiving messages.

Answer:

Point A - Intrusive igneous rock

Point B - Extrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

Intrusive igneous rocks are rocks which is formed by molten magma that cools and solidifies below and within the surface of the earth, thereby forming large crystals beneath the earth surface. Examples of Instrusive igneous rocks gabbro, granite, peridotite etc.

Intrusive Ignoeus rock is formed at point A in the diagram given above.

Extrusive Ignoeus rock, on the other hand, is the opposite of Intrusive igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock is formed when molten rocks, called magma, erupts from beneath the earth and cools and solidifies on the surface of the earth, thereby forming small crystallized rocks. Examples of extrusive igneous rocks are basalt, pumice, etc.

Extrusive Ignoeus rocks would formed at point B in the diagram above.
