You examine an epithelial cell (skin cell) and notice the chromosomes are visible however it appears there are two nuclei in the

cell. What is the best explanation for this observation?
a) the cell has just gone through the S –phase of the cell cycle so there is double the amount of DNA
b) the cell has just gone through telophase but not cytokinesis
c) the cell has gone through meiosis I and is preparing for meiosis II
d) the cell is in G1 and is preparing for DNA synthesis

Answer:

The best explanation if we observe an epithelial cell with chromosomes are visible and two cell nuclei is that the cell has just gone through telophase but not cytokinesis (option b).

Explanation:

A somatic cell, when found in mitosis, exhibits the chromosomes distributed in both poles and the outline of two nuclei in the telophase phase, just before cytokinesis.

In mitotic telophase:

  • Chromatids, which are chromosomes, are found in the cell poles.
  • It initiates the formation of the nucleus membrane.
  • The chromosomes begin to turn into chromatin.
  • Disappearance of the mitotic spindle, duplication of organelles and cytoplasmic invagination.

The division and differentiation of the nuclei in telophase is called karyokinesis. Later, cytokinesis occurs, where the daughter cells are separated.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     a and d. In the other phases described, </em><em><u>S and G1,</u></em><em> no chromosome distribution is observed at the poles.</em>

<em>     c. A somatic cell does not experience </em><em><u>meiosis</u></em><em>.</em>

What kind of map is a rectangular representation of earth but she was accurate directions but distorts the sizes and distances
Anna [14]

The correct answer is - Mercator projection map.

The Mercator projection map is a cylindrical type of map that represents the Earth in rectangular manner. While the map may seem as a nice representation of the Earth, and it has accurate directions, it also has some flaws. The biggest flaw of this map is the distortion of the sizes. The distortion is non existent on the Equator, but as it moves north and south of it towards the poles, the distortion is constantly increasing. This projection is not made to be able to cope with the increase of the scale, especially when it it is infinite at the poles.

Because of this, on this map, Greenland looks very similar in size with Africa, even though in reality it is around 15 times smaller.

What are the types of gametes​
Vika [28.1K]

In certain organisms, like humans, there are two morphologically distinct types of gametes: (1) the male gamete (i.e. sperm cell) and (2) the female gamete (i.e. ovum). The male gamete is smaller in size and motile whereas the female gamete is several times bigger and non-motile. The haploid condition of the two gametes is essential so that at fertilization during sexual reproduction the integrity of the chromosomal number is maintained throughout generations.

Hope this helps.
