Answer:

A. S phase

Explanation:

The cell cycle involves all the series of division events that occurs to an organism. Cell division, which can be meiosis or mitosis, involves two main stages viz: Interphase and M phase.

Interphase describes the resting stage of the cell i.e. when the cell is not dividing. The cell uses this time to prepare itself for the next round of division. Interphase stage further consists of three main phases viz: G1, S and G2 phases.

In the S phase or synthesis phase of Interphase, the cell duplicates its genetic material (DNA). Hence, an onion cell observed by a student to have loosely coiled chromatin depicting DNA duplication is in the S-PHASE.

What are the similarities and differences between carrier proteins and channel proteins​
kvv77 [185]
* Channel proteins- these are proteins with a hydrophilic pore where specific ions are able to pass through the membrane. Each channel protein is specific to an ion. This is the only way ions can travel through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

* Carrier proteins- these are proteins which allow larger or polar molecules through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

Carrier proteins essentially “carry" signals that are not soluble in aqueous solution through the blood stream to their target cells. Carrier proteins for hydrophilic signals prevent degradation of the signal. Channel proteins are embedded in cell membranes. They often are receptors (though not always), and when activated, allow specific ions to pass through the membrane.

A channel protein is a special arrangement of amino acids which embeds in the cell membrane, providing a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions. Like all transport proteins, each channel protein has a size and shape which excludes all but the most specific molecules

The carrier protein facilitate diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. The protein is imbedded in the cell membrane and covers the entire membrane. This is important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.

True or false? nucleotides can be broken apart from a single strand of rna by hydrolysis reactions.
Tomtit [17]
The statement above is TRUE.
RNA hydrolysis is a reaction in which a phosphodiester bond in the sugar phosphate backbone of RNA is broken, thus cleaving the RNA molecule.
This reaction is made possible in RNA because the ribose sugar in RNA has hydroxyl group at the two prime position.

Of the three primary germ layers, which is responsible for developing into nervous tissue?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

D. All three primary germ layers develop into some more type of nervous tissue

Explanation: All of the primary germ layers have specific nervous tissue development. a) Ectoderm - neuroectoderm (neural tube, neural crest). b)   Endoderm develops into (among others):   The digestive tract and its attached glands; the inner lining of some organs, such as the lungs, nervous tissue; epidermis  . c) Mesoderm - notochord signals the ectoderm to develop the neural crest more
