DNA is copied during cell division
Answer:
The correct answer is ''METAPHASE I.''
Explanation:
Metaphase I is the stage in which chromosomal studies are generally performed, because its morphology is very clear. The chromosomes, moved by the mitotic spindle, are placed in the center, between the two asters and form the so-called metaphase plate, in which the chromosomes are positioned in such a way that the kinetochore of each sister chromatid are oriented towards the opposite poles. Keeping chromosomes on the cell equator implies a balance between the forces of the microtubules that tend to move the kinetochores toward opposite poles, so positioning them in the center involves a great deal of energy.In each kinetochore, between 20-30 microtubules can be anchored, which exert traction force towards the pole from which they come, so the metaphase plate is maintained by the balance between the opposite forces of the poles on the chromosomes, which hold their sister chromatids by centromeric cohesin.
Hi, you've asked an Incomplete question. However, I provided a brief about cell theory.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The cell theory basically states that all living things are made of cells and that the cell is <u>the basic unit of life.</u> Robert Hooke, who was a Scientist is known to have originated (coined) the term “cell” in the year 1665.
Basic Facts about Cell theory:
- the basic unit of life is the cell
- all living things have one or more cells.
- already existing cells produce all new cells.
1. B 2. C 3.A 4. A molecule is when two or more atoms join together. An element makes up the atoms that form molecules. 5. Similarities include both are cells and each cell are surrounded by cell membranes. 6.A fish is an organism and a rock is not because fish contain the characteristics needed for life, while a rock does not.
Answer:
Diffusion is the process in which molecules and ions move from a region of high concentration to low concentration. Its also how cells transport waste out of the cell and nutrients into it hence being very crucial. Diffusion also occurs without the expenditure of extra energy using a procedure known as passive transport. (Osmosis is a form of diffusion but deals with water exclusively).
Examples of where diffusion is important;
In the intestines - Digested food molecules such as amino acids and glucose move down the concentration gradient from the intestine into the bloodstream. Wastes such as carbon dioxide or urea travel via diffusion from the body's cells to the bloodstream.
Osmosis plays a major role in living organisms. It aids in the transportation of nutrients from cells to cells and also helps to remove the waste's metabolic products from the cell. The purification of blood in the kidneys is also dependent on the process of osmosis.
