Besides reproduction, why do cells divide in other animals?

Biology
2 answers:
ozzi3 years ago

Answer:

B) Growth

Explanation:

Choice A): This is wrong because the centromere is simply a part of a chromosome, i.e. the part of a chromosome consisting of two sister chromatids where the sister chromatids are the most tightly bound together.

Choice B): This is right because this is indeed one of the major reasons mitosis, or cell division takes place. For example, as a human grows, his or her cells must constantly divide for the human to grow; the cells themselves <em>do not</em> grow larger.

Choice C): This is wrong because this is simply a description for the number of chromosomes within a particular cell. This type of cell is a somatic, or body, cell, just any regular cell you would find in an organism.

Choice D): Well, you said besides reproduction, so I didn't choose this. Just in case, cells divide for reproduction purposes because of meiosis, where the gametes (sex cells) are produced.

Good day, and stay safe! :)

Each fossil with the layer where it will be present based on are layer A-BIRDS, layer B -dinosaurs , layer C-amphibians, layer D-Corals ,layer E -trilobites.

<h3>What is the oldest fossil layer?</h3>

The Pilbara area of western Australia's Strelley Pool is home to the oldest known fossils. Stromatolites are fossilized mats of microorganisms wedged between sedimentary layers. The fossils have an age of 3.4 billion years.

<h3>How are the layers containing the fossils organized?</h3>

The Law of Superposition, which asserts that in undisturbed rock sequences, the bottom layers are earlier than the top ones, is the foundation for this theory. Because of this, certain fossil discoveries can be dated using the strata—a particular stratum of rock—in which they were discovered.

Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves a five nucleotide DNA sequence GA(A/T)TC. The ambiguity in the central position - (A/T) - means
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

C) 2.0 kb

Explanation:

It is given that out of the 4 nucleotides A, T, C & G each one has equal probability to occur at any position on the DNA molecule which simply means that the probability of occurrence of any nucleotide at a position is 1/4.

Also, it is given that probability of occurrence of either A or T at 3rd position is equal which means that the probability at that particular position will be 2/4 = 1/2.

Now, GA(A/T)TC is the DNA sequence where Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves so the total probability of an average HinfI cleavage fragment will be = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 0.00195 = 0.2 i.e. 2 kb.
