Answer:

The number of cell divisions is too large to even estimate.

Explanation:

Think, for every cell to be formed, a parent cell needed to divide. on top of that, for every parent cell is the result of another parent cell. Think of how small a cell is, and think of how many cells are in the onion.  The fact that onions are still onions is incredible, because a DNA mutation occurs at a very high rate during cell division.  When DNA divides, it sometimes doesn't divide evenly, resulting in too much DNA is one cell, and not enough in another.   Science has proven that the composition of DNA is what makes humans humans, trees trees, and onions onions.  The fact that onions have withstood the millions upon millions of DNA mutations while still remaining a species, is astonishing.

During the cell cycle, proteins called cyclins bind to enzymes that send signals for the cell to progress through stages of cell
Yuliya22 [10]

Uncontrolled production of cyclins will most likely result in uncontrolled division of the cell.

CELL DIVISION:

  • Cell division is a biological process that every cell undergoes to replicate themselves. It is the process by which cells are multiplied in living organisms.

  • According to this question, proteins called cyclins bind to enzymes that send signals for the cell to progress through stages of cell replication. However, at the end of the cycle, the cyclins are degraded to prevent further signaling for the cell to divide.

  • In a case whereby there is an uncontrolled production of cyclins, this will most likely result in uncontrolled division of the cell because cyclins stimulate cellular division.

Fossils up to 75,000 years old can be dated with ______.
kodGreya [7K]
Fossils up to 75,000 years old can be dated with Carbon-14.
 
Radio isotopes can be used for the age determination of the fossils. Carbon-14 is a common isotope which is used for that purpose. But the half- life of the Carbon-14 is relatively small as 5730 years. That means the amount of Carbon-14 will be half after every 5730 years. Hence, decay is very fast. So Carbon-14 cannot be used forage determination which is more than 75000 years due to the low accuracy.
