Explanation:

Simple Diffusion across the Cell (Plasma) Membrane The structure of the lipid bilayer allows only small, non-polar substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the cell membrane, down their concentration gradient, by simple diffusion.

Answer:

According to the diagram, what is occurring in step 7 is cytokinesis, with the separation of two daughter cells, following cell division.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is a process that occurs at the end of mitosis or meiosis, being the final step of cell division. This mechanism allows the separation of the two daughter cells, with equal distribution of cytoplasm and formation of cell membrane, differentiating into two independent cells.

In the diagram it can be observed (step 7) that after the division process —in yellow— two arrows pointing to two cells are evident, which implies the process of cytokinesis.

Prior to the cytokinesis process, karyokinesis occurs, which is the separation of nuclei and formation of the nuclear membrane.

In animal cells, karyocinesis occurs by the effect of a ring of actin and myosin that helps to force the separation. In the plant cell, the fragmoplast is formed, a septum that induces the separation of the daughter cells.

The other options are not correct because:

Cell growth occurs in G1 phase.
Cell preparation occurs in interphase.
DNA replication occurs in S phase.
Mitosis is represented in yellow, and involves 4 phases.

What are the transverse folds found at the posterior end of the vagina?

raketka [301]

It is called the Rugae.
Rugae is a term used in anatomy to refer to a series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ. For example the gastric rugae which allows for expansion of the stomach after the consumption of foods and drinks. The rugae of the vagina are the transverse ridges on the mucous membrane lining the vagina. They allow the vagina to stretch during childbirth.
