The answer is;  Acridine orange

This mutagen causes an insertion or deletion mutation because it is able to dupe the polymerases enzyme due to its structure that fits in the active site just like nucleic acids.  It is thus placed in place of a nucleic acid. During repair and replication, since the polymerase is not able to identify the right base pair to pair with the mutagen, it places any nucleic acid in the complementary strand . The intercalation interferes with the codon sequence (causing it to shift by a base pair) hence causing a frameshift mutation.

10. Which of the following statements best describes the major difference between anaphase of mitosis and anaphase I of meiosis?
umka2103 [35]
The answer will be A because mitosis usually separate the sister chromatids to sister chromosomes to form two diploid cells. In meiosis, the goal is to have four haploid cells. To form that, cells need to undergo cell division two times. In the case of meiosis I, sister chromatids stay joined together until it reaches meiosis II. Then, the sister chromatids will separate starting at anaphase II in meiosis II. For example, if you start with 92 chromosomes (46 chromatids) during meiosis I, at meiosis II you will have two cells with 46 chromosomes (23 chromatids). By the end of meiosis II, you should form 4 haploid cells that contains 23 chromosomes.

Plss answer all! Help!
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

there are two types of cell one eukaryotic cell that have true nucleus (genetic material enclosed in membrane) and membrane bounded organelles and other is prokaryotic cell that donot have have true nucleus (genetic material dispersed in cytoplasm) and membrane bounded organelles.

similarities between PC and EC is that both contains cell membrane, ribosomes (not a membrane bounded organelle) .

examples of PC are bacteria , paramecium,fungi etc

examples of EC are plant and animal cells

there are two names for cell membrane i.e plasmalemma, cell surface membrane,

selectively permeable or semipermeable means cell only allows those material to pass through its cell membrane which it needs.this cell'ability is important because to protection against the poisonous substance and to maintain cell needs .
