Radiation can cause breaks in human chromosomes. However, insects can survive much higher lecels of exposure. Why?

Biology
1 answer:
galben [10]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The influence from radioactivity is inversely proportional to the number of chromosomes , since , humans have more DNA , chromosomes than the insects , and  therefore , due to less chromosomes in insects , they are more resistant towards radioactivity .

As the target of the radiation is the DNA .

Hence , It is clear that insect due to lesser DNA are less prone to Radiations .

If the planet were to cool in the future, snow may begin to accumulate in the head of a glacier more rapidly than it would melt
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The glaciers will accumulate more in amount when the planet cools, and this will result in the slow expansion of glaciers, extending horizontally and downward, due to the pressure exerted by the glaciers. The glaciers will be rapidly accumulated in the glacier head in comparison to the zone of wastage, which covers the region below the snowline.  These glaciers moves at a fairly slow rate, under the influence of gravity.

As the planet cools, the terminus of the glaciers (glacier end or toe) will expand and will be distributed more outward and downward, and there will be more quantity of snow in a cool planet.

Explain how you determined wether or not a cell was dividing.
FromTheMoon [43]

The parent cell divides into two "daughter" cells. This will repeat over and over, and this is what we define as the cell cycle!


Fun Fact: Each stage of the cell cycle, such as G1 (Growth/Gap 1), Synthesis/ Stage, then G2/ Gap 2 stage, then following mitosis, has their own checkpoint! These checkpoints review/ revise what the cell has done during the stage.

If somatic cells are reproduced during mitosis then what kind of cells are produced during meiosis?
leonid [27]
Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
