Why is it necessary for the DNA to replicate prior to cell division?

Biology

Answer:

B

Explanation:

replication is just to attempt to ensure that the daughter cells have the full set of DNA (genome) as their parents did as well

The answer is b. because you wouldn't want a daughter cell that didn't have <em>all </em>necessary to be a complete cell, and this could be messed up if the DNA didn't replicate prior to cell division

Compare the gill arches in marine vertebrates with the ribs in terrestrial vertebrates.
Serjik [45]
<span>In marine vertebrates, the gill arches use the external gas exchange. The water holds less oxygen.

 The ribs in terrestrial vertebrates have enclosed respiratory surface which is inside the body and comes as paired lungs.

Kidneys are efficient in excretion of regulation of water and nitrogenous wastes. Their reproduction is normally sexual with separate sexes.</span>

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: irritability and conductivity. A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the sodium potassium pump. This system moves sodium (Na+) out of the cell and potassium (K+) into the cell. The inside of the cell membrane is negative, not only due to the active transport system but also because of intracellular proteins, which remain negative due to the intracellular pH and keep the inside of the cell membrane negative.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells with the capacity to transmit information between one another and also with other tissues in the body. This information is transmitted thanks to the release of substances called <em>neurotransmitters</em>, and this transmission is possible due to the <em>electrical properties </em>of the neurons.

For the neurons (and other excitable cells, such as cardiac muscle cells) to be capable of conducting the changes in their membranes' voltages, they need to have a<em> resting membrane potential</em>, which consists of a specific voltage that is given because of the electrical nature of both the inside and the outside of the cell. <u>The inside of the cell is negatively charged, while the outside is positively charged</u> - this is what generates the resting membrane potential. When the membrane voltage changes because the inside of the cell is becoming less negative, the neuron is being excited and - if this excitation reaches a threshold - an action potential will be fired. But how does the voltage changes? This happens because the distribution of ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluids is very dissimilar and when the sodium channels in the cell membrane are opened (because of an external stimulus), sodium enters the cell rapidly to balance out the difference in this ion concentration. The sudden influx of this positively-charged ion is what makes the inside of the neuron become less negative. This event is called <em>depolarization of the membrane</em>.

How do flowering plants reproduce by fertilization if they are immotile?
Korolek [52]
Flowering plants reproduce by fertilization even if they are immotile by having their pollen be attached to the wings or bodies of other animals that touch them. This process is called animal pollination in which animals help to switch the genetics between different plants.
