Its main use is the treatment against acne thanks to its keratolytic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tretinoin is also used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia type 3 (AML 3).

SIDE EFFECTS:

A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 160 cells in interphase, 20 cells in prophase, 6 cells in prometaphase, 2 cell
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

M phase: 4.8 hr

Prophase: 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 0.84 hr

Telophase: 0.6 hr

Explanation:

Mitosis, also known as M phase, is the process of nuclear division after interphase, which is followed by cytoplasmic division via cytokinesis. Mitosis can be subdivided into the following phases: Prophase,  Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In this case, 160 cells are in interphase (for a total of 200 cells), thereby 40 cells are in mitosis >> 200 - 160 = 40 cells. Since the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, it is possible to calculate the average duration of each phase:

M phase: 40/200 = 0.2 x 24 hr = 4.8 hr

Prophase: 20/200 = 0.1 x 24 hr = 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 6/200 = 0.030 x 24 hr = 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 2/200 = 0.01 x 24 hr = 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 7/200 = 0.035 x 24 hr = 0.84 hr

Telophase: 5/200 = 0.025 x 24 hr = 0.6 hr

Which of the following molecules does NOT contain a B-1,4 glycosidic linkage?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Chitin, Cellulose and Peptidoglycan (B, C and D)

Explanation:

Both chitin and cellulose are composed mainly of glucides, bound by glycosidic bonds of the Beta 1-4 type. This is largely why they cannot be digested by most non-herbivorous animals.

As for peptidoglycans, it is a net. It is a molecular framework present in bacteria that has β1-4 and α1-4 bonds in different proportions.
