A force of 8 N will be required.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output force from a system to the input force into the system. A machine which has the mechanical advantage more than 1 means it requires less force to give more force as output. Similarly, when the mechanical advantage for the machine is less than 1,it means more force is required to give to achieve a less one.

Here in the question, the mechanical advantage of the pulley is 2.

Output force required to pull the sack of potatoes upto kitchen is 16N.

Mechanical advantage = Output force / input force.

Or, 2= 16 / input force.

So input force = 16 / 2  =8.

So a force of 8 N will be required to pull the pulley.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: DNA growth does not occur

Explanation:

Here, the cell has grown, the DNA has been replicated (this takes place in the S phase of interphase) and its almost time for the cell to divide. Basically, what occurs during the G2 phase (Gap 2 phase of interphase) includes duplication of all proteins and organelles needed later during the process of cell division. Some of these includes assembly of microtubles will later for the spindle structure that that helps in the separation of chromosomes during the M phase but these are produced during the G2 phase.

The cells also continue to increase/grow in size and the volume of the cytoplasm also increase in this phase. There is also a checking where the cell needs to check for the structures and components and to also ensure that they are all present
