Mitosis is simply a stage in a cells life cycle, which could be broken down further into stages of mitosis. The rest (so not mitosis) is know as Interphase and is where the cell does its normal function, so if it's the cell is in a region of muscle it would contract/relax as normal etc.
Immediately before mitosis (or M phase) is what's know as G2 phase, where the G stands for growth and is where particular gene pathways are expressed to promote growth of the volume of DNA (chromosomes are duplicated, so from 46 to 92). At the end of this stage is a checking process where the DNA is scrutinised for any errors, if all is okay then the cell can proceed to mitosis, if not then the process is stopped so that errors in copying the DNA can be fixed. This is know as a restriction point and the cell must meet the requirements to pass. This is often seen as a way cells can prevent damage being replicated and therefore interfering with normal cell processes. When cells are cancerous they are able to override this and therefore divide and spread the damaged DNA.
Answer:
Explanation:
A heterozygote advantage describes the case in which the heterozygous genotype has a higher relative fitness than either the homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive genotype. The specific case of heterozygote advantage due to a single locus is known as overdominance. Overdominance is a condition in genetics where the phenotype of the heterozygote lies outside of the phenotypical range of both homozygote parents, and heterozygous individuals have a higher fitness than homozygous individuals.
Answer:
The correct answer is - option B.
Explanation:
The diagram or pyramid for the energy flow of an ecosystem represents the flow of energy from one end to the other end according to the food chain. It starts with the ultimate energy source the sun which is used by the producers to produce energy and this is the trophic level that carries the highest energy.
In the food chain, when primary consumers eat the producers they get 10% of the total energy producers carries due to loss of energy and 10% energy of primary consumer have transferred to secondary consumer and so on.
Answer: Our immune systems are different and we come from different areas were exposure rates may be different.
