How do Komodo dragons reproduce asexually
ddd [48]
Komodo dragons can reproduce both sexually and asexually depending on the environment. They can do this because of Parthenogenesis (Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization. In animals, parthenogenesis means the development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell.)

Indicate whether each of the following descriptions better matches the rough (R) or the smooth (S) endoplasmic reticulum.
yuradex [85]

Answer: rough endoplasmic reticulum--b

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum--a,c,d

Explanation:The rough endoplasmic reticulum has numerous ribosomes attached to it. Thus it has a coarse texture.it is involved in the production of proteins. The ribosomes receives the messages to produce a protein from the messenger RNA, the ribosome the packs amino acid into proteins and transfers it to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have ribosomes attached.it is involved in the production of non-protein molecules eg lipids and fats.

It is an also important organelle for the metabolism of the cell.it helps in detoxification in the liver. It also stores calcium for use in the skeleton.The sarcoplasmic reticulum is an modified smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Once a cell enters mitosis, the molecules that activate division must be turned off. what happens to mpf during mitosis? it is c
posledela
I think what happens is that the Cyclin component of the MPF is degraded.  MPF or mitosis promoting factor, consists of two important cell cycle regulatory protein called the cyclin and cyclin dependent kinases (CDK). The cdk and the cyclins are the major control switches for the cell cycle, causing the cell to move from G1 to S or G2 to M.

What are the three major components of a cladogram?
Dimas [21]
A cladogram is a branching diagram that shows the cladistic relationship between a number species. It comes from the greek clados meaning branch and gramma meaning character. It is not to be confused with an evolutionary tree since it does not show the relationship between ancestors and descendants plus it also lacks the ability to show how they have changed over time. The major components of a cladogram are the tip (the start of the lineage), root (the end of the lineage) and node (where two or more lineages combine).
