Explain the protective significance of chromosomes condensing into tight coils during mitosis.

Biology
1 answer:
antoniya [11.8K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Chromosomes condense before mitosis to allow them the ability to move smoothly, without becoming entangled and breaking. (So, they are conveniently packaged for cell division, in which the chromosomes must move to both poles of the cell.)

Explanation: Otherwise it would be a massive mess to untangle and separate like a meesed up fishing reel jammed with line mixed together with the jammed lines from 3000 other messed up lines

How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwater amoeba respond if the organism was placed in seawater?
saw5 [17]

Correct answer: B). With fewer contractions


The main function of a contractile vacuole is to maintain the sufficient amount of water in the protoplasm of the cell. For the freshwater amoeba contractile vacuole is needed to pump water and maintain a osmoregulation.

But when it is kept in sea water, more contraction is required to expel the water out of the cell in order to make the environment inside amoeba same as of sea water.

Select the correct answer.
Lena [83]
The correct answer is D, white blood cells.
We know that red blood cells deliver nutrients and are not apart of the immune system; platelets are responsible for coagulation, which has nothing to do with the immune system, and plasma is a substance that, again, has nothing to do with immunity. White blood cells are the only things that fight disease (antibodies are white blood cells)!

I hope I helped!

(By nothing I meant very little to none).
