Answer: weakened pathogens

Explanation:

Each vaccine contains a small amount of the disease germ (virus or bacteria) or parts of the germ.

A pathogen is a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.

Which of the following is NOT a source of dissolved oxygen in the water?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

A. humans going underwater and exhaling

Explanation:

The dissolved oxygen in water refers to the amount of oxygen that is found in water. However, there are various ways that oxygen dissolves in a body of water, these includes;

- Photosynthesis of aquatic plants: Oxygen is the waste product of the photosynthetic process carried out by green plants. Hence, when aquatic plants undergo photosynthesis, oxygen from them tend to dissolve into water.

- Diffusion from the atmosphere: Oxygen from air or atmosphere also dissolves in water

- aeration as water moves over rocks and debris, and from wind and waves

However, humans do not exhale oxygen but carbon dioxide, hence, it is not a source of dissolved oxygen

Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, meiosis, or both mitosis and meiosis.
svp [43]

Occurs in  organisms that  sexually reproduce ==> Occurs in meosis.

Meiosis is a type of gamete-specific nuclear division.

Meiosis occurs during spermatogenesis and oogenesis (egg formation in women).

In order for the number of chromosomes, characteristic of the species, to be conserved, it is necessary that before the encounter, the number of chromosomes of each of the reproductive cells be divided by two.

The reduction in the number of chromosomes takes place during the phenomenon called "meiosis".


Occurs during  growth and  development ==> It concerns mitosis.

Mitosis will ensure the good fulfillment of several phenomena:

. embryonic development,

. the general growth of organisms from birth to adult size,

. continued growth of certain organisms and / or organs; for example, trees, hair, teeth in ruminants, nails, ...


The DNA is  replicated ==> concern both mitosis and meiosis.

The cell cycle of eukaryotic cells is as follows:

• Interphase (normal functions, DNA replication)

G1 - growth / cellular activity

S - DNA synthesis / replication

G2 - preparation for division

• Phase M (cell division): which consists of either mitosis or meiosis, depending on cell types.

• Cytocinesis (cytoplasmic division).

So whether it is mitosis or meiosis, both are preceded by a replication of the genetic material (DNA)


Occurs in  all organisms ==> concern both mitosis and meiosis.

An organism is a set of elements that make up a functional structure.

In biology, the term organism designates a living being as it is organized, that is to say composed of different organs or organelles forming a coherent whole (as opposed to micro-organisms).

All multicellular organisms have sexual reproduction, so their cells are systematically mitosis and meiosis.

We exclude microorganisms of which a very small part of them have asexual reproduction.


The number of  chromosomes  remains the same : concerns only mitosis.

During mitosis, the human cell has 2n monochromatid chromosomes. In phase S consists of a doubling of the amount of DNA indeed, and the cells then have 2n chromosomes bichromatidiens. In the metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes of the mother cell are arranged on a "metaphase plate", then split in 2-chromosomes, but monochromatids, during anaphase. Each daughter cell therefore has 2n monochromatid chromosomes.



The number of  chromosomes  reduces by half ==> Concerns only meiosis

Meiosis unfolds in two stages:

* The first meiotic division is called reductional because it allows to pass from 2n double chromosomes to n double chromosomes.

* The second is called equational because it preserves the number of chromosomes: one passes from n double chromosomes to n simple chromosomes.

Meiosis thus allows the formation of 4 haploid daughter cells (or gametes).

In humans, a normal cell contains 2n = 46 chromosomes (thus 23 pairs) while a gamete contains n = 23 chromosomes in two divisions).

The most plausible evidence that the development of cancer is a multistep process can be:
miskamm [114]

Answer:

D) observation that certain tumor-suppressor genes and oncogenes are involved in a sequential manner in the development of colon cancer

Explanation:

Cancer is defined as the abnormal growth of cells of the body. These cells multiply/replicate without control thereby forming a lump or tumor.

Cancer growth has 5 stages and they go though different multi level steps.Different finding backs this up and it includes observation about certain tumor-suppressor genes and oncogenes being involved in a sequential manner in the development of colon cancer.

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells. when a liver cell divides to create new liver cells it will create _______________. su respuest
Afina-wow [57]
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells when a liver cell divides to create new liver cells it will create identical daughter cells, identical to the parental cell, this guarantees the genetic composition, function and type of cells from one generation of cells to the next.
