Answer:

ExpThe study of the cell cycle focuses on mechanisms that regulate the timing and frequency of DNA duplication and cell division. As a biological concept, the cell cycle is defined as the period between successive divisions of a cell. During this period, the contents of the cell must be accurately replicated. Microscopists had known about cell division for more than one hundred years, but not until the 1950s, through the pioneering work of Alma Howard and Stephen Pelc, did they become aware that DNA replication took place only at a specific phase of the cell cycle and that this phase was clearly separated from mitosis. Howard and Pelc's work in the broad bean, Vicia faba, revealed that the cell goes through many discrete phases before and after cell division. From this understanding, scientists then identified the four characteristic phases of the cell cycle: mitosis (M), gap 1 (G1), DNA synthesis (S), and gap 2 (G2). The study of these phases, the proteins that regulate them, and the complex biochemical interactions that stop or start DNA replication and cell division (cytokinesis) are the primary concerns of cell cycle biologists.

The most significant progress in this research field came with the demonstration that specific protein complexes involving cyclins were critical for regulating the passage of cells through the cell cycle. These early observations came from biological studies of the cells of rapidly dividing fertilized frog eggs as well as mutant yeast cells that could not divide. The observations suggested that regulation of the cell cycle is conserved throughout eukaryotes, which has since proved to be the case. The mechanism of division in bacteria differs from that of eukaryotes, and the control of their cell cycle is also somewhat different, although again it is linked with DNA replication.

Although the cell cycle is a highly integrated process, distinct areas of interest within this field of study have emerged. For instance, many genes and proteins that influence the passage from one phase of the cell cycle to another have been identified. When their expression is altered by mutation or aberrant regulation, they are usually classed as oncogenes. Other proteins act to hold the cell at distinct points in the cycle (checkpoints) and are known as tumor suppressor genes. Apart from those with a clearly regulatory role, many proteins have important functions in other aspects of the cell cycle; one is replication of DNA and organelles, which is a fascinating process that includes its own repair mechanisms and self-editing. Other fields focus primarily on the mechanical processes of cell cleavage into two daughter cells at the end of mitosis and on the condensation and decondensation of chromatin.

Answer:

The cells are a huge part of our health. Scientists noticed that cells divide over a period of time. This is because if a cell died another cell would come in  so we don't die. Cell differentiation helps by if you need another cell, cell differentiation helps and makes place for that cell you needed.

Lorico [155]

Answer: the physical changes that occur in the body as sexual development reaches its peak

Explanation:

Puberty refers to the transition of a child into an adult. It is characterized by several physical changes induced mainly by hormones. These changes include:

- deep voice in males; high pitch voice in females

- growth of pubic hairs in males and females

- presence of thicker skin in males; delicate and lighter skin in females

- emergence of breast in females, broad chest in males etc

Incomplete Dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance is an example of a non-mendelian trait (doesn't follow the genetic rules established by Gregor Mendel). When two parents mate and produce offspring, the offspring is a blend of the two parents. So, a red flower and a white flower would make a pink flower.

Subduction <br> What happens to the material that subducts? Where does it go?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Where two tectonic plates meet at a subduction zone, one bends and slides underneath the other, curving down into the mantle. (The mantle is the hotter layer under the crust.) ... At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust.
