The fossil record

This supports Darwin's theory of evolution, which states that simple life forms gradually evolved into more complex ones. Evidence for early forms of life comes from fossils. By studying fossils, scientists can learn how much (or how little) organisms have changed as life developed on Earth.There are gaps in the fossil record because many early forms of life were soft-bodied, which means that they have left few traces behind. What traces there were may have been destroyed by geological activity. This is why scientists cannot be certain about how life began.

Fossils provide a snap shot of the past and allow us to study how much or how little organisms have changed as life developed on Earth.

Intensely biosynthetic secretory protein cells such as neurons would be expected to have greater amounts of _________ than other

Rus_ich [418]

AnsweR:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

The endoplasmic reticulum is a member of the endomembrane system and is present as a continuation of the nuclear membrane. They are divided into the rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and is responsible for the synthesis of secretory proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesize lipids.

Therefore cells that intensely biosynthesize secretory proteins like neurons, white blood cells have a greater amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum than another cell of the body.

Explain the process of DNA Replication in details

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. ... Once the DNA in a cell is replicated, the cell can divide into two cells, each of which has an identical copy of the original DNA.

In the eukaryotic cell cycle, chromosome duplication occurs during "S phase" (the phase of DNA synthesis) and chromosome segregation occurs during "M phase" (the mitosis phase).
