The specific volume will be different for various kinds of cells. The safe answer would be that the new cell will pretty much have the same volume as the one that it divided from. This is true for most eukaryotic cells unless other factors like epigenetics or mutations come into place.
One example of moments a cell would increase in volume is during hypertrophy. This simply means that the cell is increasing in size (compared to: hyperplasia -- which is an increase in number of the cells). Hypertrophy is definitely an increase in volume of the cell but this doesn't necessarily translate to cell division (i.e. just because the cell is big now, doesn't mean it will still be big when it divides).
Another moment of increasing volume of the cell and now also related to cell division would be during the two stages in the cell cycle (i.e., G1 and G2 phases). This is the growth phase of the cell preparing to divide. However when mitosis or division happens, the cells will normally end with the same volume as when it started.
This are safe generalizations referring to the human cells. It would help if a more specific kind of cell was given.
Answer:
The student is wrong, spermatozoa are germinal cells and therefore mitochondrial mutations (likewise genomic nuclear mutations) are inherited by offspring
Explanation:
Although the probabilities of inheriting a mutation from a single sperm cell are low, it since an organism produces millions of sperm cells throughout its life span, the mutations in the germinal cells (i.e., sperms and ovules) are inherited by offspring
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are:
A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present
B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent
C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele
D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype
The answer is B.
Explanation:
According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.
An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.
Answer:
La ingestión es la introducción de la comida en el aparato digestivo al servicio de la alimentación o de la hidratación, y en la forma que nos es más familiar se realiza a través de la boca.
Explanation:
El "bocado" o pieza alimentaria que se incorpora debe tener dimensiones mayores a las moléculas para denominarse ingestión.
All I know is that you can get a short-term diabetes when you're pregnant, because my mom had diabetes when she had me and my sister. It comes from the cravings, which for her were salty and very sweet, and sounded very disgusting in my opinion.
