The rain gauge is an instrument used by meteorologists to measure the amount of precipitation in a particular region in a particular amount of time.
The rain gauge is placed on the ground in order to collect the rain or the precipitation sample. The rain gauge is labelled with the quantities, which can be used to measure the amount of precipitation.
So, the correct answer is option (a). on or near the ground.
The 3 checkpoints include G1 where the cell growth is checked, G2 where the integrity of the DNA/chromosome is checked, and M where the integrity of the metaphase plate is checked.
<h3>Cell cycle checkpoints</h3>
There are 3 regulatory checkpoints in the life cycle of cells:
- G1: the size of the cell, the presence of growth factors, and the integrity of the DNA are checked before the cell irreversibly commits to division.
- G2: the integrity of the DNA and the correctness of the replication process at the S-phase are checked.
- M: correct attachment of the spindle fibers to the chromosomes at the metaphase plate is checked.
