Answer:

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Explanation:

Now this is a lot of bio to cover, but, there are 5 stages of mitosis.

1) Interphase:

The DNA in the cell is copied in preparation for cell division, this results in two identical full sets of chromosomes?

Outside of the nucleus? are two centrosomes, each containing a pair of centrioles, these structures are critical for the process of cell division.

During interphase, microtubules extend from these centrosomes.

2. Prophase:  

The chromosomes condense into X-shaped structures that can be easily seen under a microscope.

Each chromosome is composed of two sister chromatids, containing identical genetic information. This is very important.  

The chromosomes pair up so that both copies of chromosome 1 are together, both copies of chromosome 2 are together, and so on.

At the end of prophase the membrane around the nucleus in the cell dissolves away releasing the chromosomes.

The mitotic spindle, consisting of the microtubules and other proteins, extends across the cell between the centrioles as they move to opposite poles of the cell.

3. Metaphase:

The chromosomes line up neatly end-to-end along the Centre (equator) of the cell.

The centrioles are now at opposite poles of the cell with the mitotic spindle fibers extending from them.

The mitotic spindle fibers attach to each of the sister chromatids.

4. Anaphase:

The sister chromatids are then pulled apart by the mitotic spindle which pulls one chromatid to one pole and the other chromatid to the opposite pole.

5. Telophase:

At each pole of the cell a full set of chromosomes gather together.

A membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to create two new nuclei.

The single cell then pinches in the middle to form two separate daughter cells each containing a full set of chromosomes within a nucleus. This process is known as cytokinesis.

MariettaO [177]
The term "lipid" does not specify a particular chemical structure. Whereas one can write a general formula for an amino acid, nucleic acid, or protein, lipids are much more chemically diverse. Compounds are categorized as lipids based on their greater solubility in organic solvents than in water.

Lesson Question:How can the presence of
kobusy [5.1K]

The given question is incomplete question as it lack essential part of question which is :

Ex: Write a hypothesis about the worms and lima bean plants. Be sure to answer the lab question.

Answer:

The correct answer would be : If plants grow in soil with worms, then growth of the lima bean plant will be greater due to worms helps in decomposing organic matter.

Explanation:

In this hypothesis the one species benefits other species in the same ecosystem they both exist. According to the hypothesis presence of the worms helps in the growth of the lima bean plants.

Dependent variable is a variable that depends on change in independent variable. Here the change in the presence of worms affects the growth of the bean plants so, the dependent variable is bean plant and the independent variable is presence of the worms.

Thus, the correct answer is : If plants grow in soil containing worms, then plant growth will be greater, because worms help decompose organic matter
