Humans have always interbread with other groups and tribes, but grazing animals don't do that, so It is much easier to estimate it.

Answer:

It is more difficult to predict heritability in humans in comparison to laboratory animals or livestock is because humans cannot be used in the selective breeding experiments, which the animals go through. The artificial selection or the selective breeding refers to a procedure in which the laboratory animals are bred for a specific phenotype or trait. This procedure has been long used in experimental medical research.

<h2>Cell Cycle </h2>

Explanation:

Eukaryotes grow and divide by cell cycle.

The main parts of a cell cycle are an ordered series of events – Gap 1 or G1 phase, Synthesis or S phase, Gap 2 or G2 phase, and the mitosis or M phases.  

Interphase period (G1, S, G2 phases) - cell grows by size, duplicates its content, replicates its DNA, and finally prepares for mitotic cell division .

Mitosis and cytokinesis - formation of two identical daughter cells

Cell cycle is regulated by regulatory or restrictive checkpoints in the cell cycle which are activated with detection of a defective DNA.

Proliferation of undesired or cells with defective DNA like in case of tumor cells is controlled by the action of suppressing agents like p53 and cyclins.

The tumor suppressor gene protein p53 prohibits division of tumor cells. Cyclins regulate cell cycle by activation of the enzyme cyclin-dependent kinase.
