Que sucedería con la especie humana si debido a una futura mutación genética sus células no pudieran realizar los procesos de mi
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

la vida no podría continuar sin los procesos de división celular  

Explanation:

La mitosis es el proceso de división celular mediante el cual se producen dos células idénticas a partir de una sola célula. Durante la mitosis la célula crece y duplica la cantidad de ADN, con lo cual exactamente el mismo contenido de información genética es trasmitido a las sucesivas células que el proceso de mitosis va a dar origen. Por otra parte, la meiosis es un proceso celular en el cual se producen dos divisiones nucleares y citoplasmáticas (meiosis I y meiosis II) las cuales son precedidas por una fase de replicación del ADN. En la especie humana, la mitosis da lugar a células diploides (2n) con dos set completos de cromosomas homólogos, mientras que la meiosis da lugar a cuatro células haploides (n) llamadas gametos (el gameto masculino es el espermatozoide y el gameto femenino es el óvulo) las cuales contienen la mitad del número cromosómico al de la célula de origen. En organismos eucariotas pluricelulares tales como la especie humana, la función de la mitosis es producir más células somáticas (soma: cuerpo) con idéntico material genético, mientras que la función de la meiosis es producir células aptas para el proceso de reproducción, es decir, células con la mitad del material genético que se fusionarán para generar una célula diploide o zigoto a partir del cual y mediante sucesivas mitosis se desarrollará un organismo adulto.

Why does protein concentration increase from the arterial blood to the postglomerular blood
siniylev [52]
<span>Proteins have a very high molecular weight and cannot be present as macro molecules in the glomerular blood. Before even reaching the blood, they are well masticated and processed to simple amino acids and other nitrogenous compounds like urea, uric acid etc. (in the digestive system itself). They are eliminated from the body while glomerular filtration through urine. The glomerular blood thus becomes free from such compounds before leaving the kidney.</span>
