4. Calculate the specific heat for a 20 g piece of metal if 30 J of energy is

Biology
1 answer:

0.12 J/kg . K

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of metal = 20g

Quantity of energy = 30J

Temperature = 12.5K

Unknown:

specific heat = ?

Solution:

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a 1g of the substance by 1K

 It is given as:

    C = \frac{Quantity of heat}{mass x temperature change}

input the parameters:

   C = \frac{30}{20 x 12.5 } = 0.12 J/kg . K

What is the name given to cell division in eukaryotes
mr_godi [17]
In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis), and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).

A particular cell has a mutation that causes it to make defective centromeres. What would you expect to occur during mitosis for
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Chromosomes will not align at the equator of the cell, and subsequently will not separate to opposite poles.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cellular division that results in daughter cells with identical copies of the genetic material as the parent cell. Mitosis is characterized by different stages viz: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. The centromere is a very important part of the cell during division as it produces microtubules that grows out and bind to the kinetochore of each chromosome, hence, aligning them at the CELL PLATE (cell equator) and subsequently pulls them apart to opposite poles. This alignment and pulling apart occurs during METAPHASE and ANAPHASE respectively.

Mutation is any change that occurs in the nuceleotide sequence of the genetic material (DNA). If a change/mutation occurs leading to a defective or non-functional centromere, the centromere will no longer be able to produce microtubules that will bind to the kinetochores of each chromosome. Therefore, the chromosomes will be unable to align at the equator/middle of the cell and most importantly, inability to separate to opposite poles, which is the main point of Mitosis.
