Answer:

the behavioral adaptation of sleeping is called Hibenation

The drug colchicine inhibits the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis. If you treat dividing plant cells with colchicine,
vekshin1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

During metaphase of cell division, the chromosomes line up in the metaphase plate and the spindle fibers from the poles extend and attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The spindle then contracts and pull different chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell before the parent cell divides.   If spindle fibers do not form, then the chromosomes will not separate during anaphase.

Therefore, the final cell after mitosis will be a cell with double the number of chromosomes -because if you remember, during interphase, genetic material is replicated so each daughter cell can have its copy-. Due to quality control in the process of cell divisison, this cell will mostly undergo apoptosis, otherwise, it could develop into cancer.

If the dna double helix in salmon contains 22% guanine, what is the percent of cytosine, thymine and adenine? express your answe
Oksanka [162]

Theoretically it is the Chargaff's rule which entails that the ratio of purines and pyrimidines are 1. So following that rule you can solve this question.

G (purine) = C (pyrimidine) and

A (purine) = T (pyrimidine)

So G + C  would be 28% and hence

A +C would be 72% i.e. 36% each.

Please note that their are certain modified bases besides these four are also there including methyl Cytosine, Methylated Adenine. But htese modification does not violate the Chargaff's rule and they follow standard Watson Crick base pairing.
