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

1 answer:

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

Which end of an earthworm contains an organ that can detect smells? Use observations from the lab to support your answer.Which e

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Anterior end

Explanation:

You have a pretty good shot at guessing this, because the earthworm has very little going on at the posterior end except the anus. And you probably saw this in lab, too.

I've attached a picture of the earthworm anatomy. Worms can't smell in the strictest sense, but they can use their receptors as kind of a combo smell-taste thing, and those are located in the anterior end.
