Early cleavage divisions in most embryos are also rapid. One reason for this is that cleaving cells have a modified cell cycle, in which the two gap phases, G1 and G2 are completely omitted, and the cells cycle rapidly between M and S phases. In addition, because the major cytoskeletal systems of the cells are largely devoted to mitosis (microtubules) and cytokinesis (microfilaments) during rapid cleavage division, there is typically an antagonism between periods of rapid cell division and cell movement. Thus as the embryo approaches gastrulation, there is a tremendous slowing in the rate of division (note the slope of the curve at the right).
Answer: Products of respiration:
Glucose and oxygen
Carbon dioxide and water (and ATP)
Answer:
The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.
Explanation:
Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.
