Answer:

The missing options are:

A. Spindle fibers have not correctly attached to chromosomes.

B. Damage occurred to DNA when it was being copied in G1.

C. There are not enough nucleotides available to construct new DNA.

D. Proteins necessary for M phase of the cell cycle have not been produced.

The correct option is C.There are not enough nucleotides available to construct new DNA.

Explanation:

During the G1 phase, the cell grows in size since it prepares its organelles and molecule combinations for the next phase of the cell cycle, the S phase. Before the cell transitions to the S phase, it has to pass through a checkpoint that makes sure that there are no mutations, it has grown enough, and has the necessary molecules for the next phase, which is the synthesis of DNA. If there are not enough nucleotides, the cell will not be able to synthesize new DNA in the S phase, so the checkpoint stops the cells from moving to this phase till it has all the necessary things to do it.

ecosystems

An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.

Answer:

PCR is used in many research labs, and it also has practical applications in forensics, genetic testing, and diagnostics. For instance, PCR is used to amplify genes associated with genetic disorders from the DNA of patients (or from fetal DNA, in the case of prenatal testing).
