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

Biology

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

What is the cell cycle?<br><br> Lesson Question <br> Help please !!!
Leokris [45]
A cell cycle is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides. A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division. The resulting cells, known as daughter cells, each enter their own interphase and begin a new round of the cell cycle.

Sublimation process where solid state changes to gaseous state by escaping liquid state.

Deposition process where gaseous state changes to solid state by escaping liquid state.

Condensation process where gaseous state changes to liquid state.

Melting is the process where solid state changes to liquid state.

Evaporation process is a process where liquid state changes to gaseous state.

When is the terrarium sealed which geochemical cycle can be observed?
Mrac [35]
A sealed terrarium with an inflow of heat resembles a small water cycle. The water from plants and soil evaporates due to increased temperature. This again condenses on the roof nd walls of the terrarium, and eventually, water flows back to the soil.  So, there is a constant supply of water for the growth of the plants.
