Answer:

Connect the centromere to microtubules. (Option A)

Explanation:

The kinetochore is known as the complex of protein which is disc shape in structure. The structure of kinetochore is divided into three parts: inner region, outer region, and fibrous corona. Each part of the kinetochore works in its own way in the separation of the sister chromatids.

During the process of cell division (mitosis, and meiosis) kinetochore collects on the centromere and allows the chromosome to link with microtubules.

Answer:

The answer is A) connects the centromere to microtubules.

Explanation:

kinetochore is a protein that makes up a chromatid during cell division and allows it to attach to a spindle fiber on a chromosome.

Kinetochore functions by anchoring chromosomes to microtubules in the spindle and attaching the centromere to the spindle fibers during mitosis among other functions.

Mitosis Involves one cell division? Results in two daughter cells Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically identical Occurs in all organisms except viruses Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm) Prophase is much shorter No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase. In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Meiosis Involves two successive cell divisions Results in four daughter cells Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically different Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only Prophase I takes much longer Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator. During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Similarities Mitosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis. Meiosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!) In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis.

A constant rate of increase (rmax) for a population produces a growth graph that is J-shaped rather than a straight line. Why?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The line graph illustrates the temperatures in London, New York and Sydney on monthly average and the table introduces the information about the annual hours of sunshine for these cities. The overall view is that London is always exceeded by the rest in both the temperature and the number of sunshine hours.

To specify, the line graph shows that in New York, the average temperature goes up slightly from 4.5 degree in January to 8 degree in March, before a more significant increase to the highest of 30 degree in July, followed by a drop to 5 degree in December. Similarly, in London, after climbing gradually from the lowest point of 9 degree to the highest of 23 degree in July, the figure stays unchanged in the next month and then fall to 9.5 degree in December.

On the contrary, in Sydney, the temperature decrease insignificantly from 25.5 degree in January to the lowest of 16 degree in July, before a gradual rise to 25 degree in December. Meanwhile, the table indicates that New York has the largest number of sunshine hours per year with 2535 hours, came after by Sydney and London with 2473 hours and 1180 hours respectively.

In conclusion, London is likely to be the coldest city because its annual hours of sunshine is less than two others.
