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

Cancer cells are different because they don't enter the G - 0 phase and they are likely to do which of the following Your answer
Allisa [31]

Answer:

c) repeat the cell cycle continuously

Explanation:

Cell division is a normal phenomenon for all cells as this is the way the cell reproduces and gets repaired in living organisms. However, some cells, due to mutation, keeps dividing and proliferating to form tumours. These cells are called CANCER cells. A normal cell undergoes cellular repair at certain checkpoints of the cell cycle. The checkpoints are necessary to determine a faulty cell and stop its division.

However, cancerous cells do not undergo any repair, which is why they do not enter the G0 phase as mentioned in the question. They keep on dividing out of control without death by repeating the cell cycle continuously.

fomenos

Answer:

The artificial reef would decrease erosion of the coastline.

Explanation:

Artificial reefs are created in area where there is little uderwater topography or near established coral reefs to imitate or even substitute for natural coral reefs where they are absent or endangered due various factors which are mostly human in nature. The artificial serves to provide a habitat for marine organisms and ensure more biodiversity around the area by providing shelter from predation and surfaces for encrusting organisms such as corals and sponges to grow on. The growth of these lower level food chain organisms attract larger predator organisms thereby increasing the biodiversity in the area.

Artificial reefs are made from a variety of materials such as shipwrecks, construction debris, oil rigs, concrete, and any other man-made objects. Since reef structures protect shorelines against waves, artificial reefs would decrease the erosion of the coastline providing benefit to the people living along the coastline by preventing the destruction of beaches and coastal property,
