The answer would be 2. An agent that causes a mutation in DNA.

A mutagen is any agent capable of altering the genetic constitution of a cell by changing the structure of DNA.

Many forms of electromagnetic radiation such as cosmic rays, X rays, ultraviolet light and a variety of chemical compounds are mutagenic.

The starting cell must duplicate its Chromosomes in interphase before mitosis can being? Does this change the number of chromoso
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is both.

Explanation:

  • Each chromosome is made up of a pair of sister chromatids which remain attached to each other at the centromere.
  • During DNA replication the DNA duplicates, which means that if initially in the parent cell 'n' chromosomes were present then, after duplication, the number of chromosomes in the cell will be '2n'.
  • As mentioned above, each chromosome has a pair of sister chromatids, that is, two chromatids per chromosome. So, 'n' chromosomes will have '2n' chromatids. Hence, '2n' chromosomes will have '4n' chromatids.
  • In a parent cell,
  1. Before duplication, number of chromosome = n, number of chromatid = 2n.
  2. After duplication, number of chromosome = 2n, number of chromatid = 4n.
  • The cell cycle proceeds as, G0, G1, S, G2, M.
  • G0 represents the interphase. It occurs before replication or duplication of the chromosomes, which occurs in the S phase.
  • So, in G0 phase, the chromosome number is 'n' and chromatid number is '2n'.

Two positive feedback mechanisms involved in homeostasis
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

Positive Feedback Loop

The direction is maintained, not changed, so this is positive feedback. Another example of positive feedback is uterine contractions during childbirth. The hormone oxytocin, made by the endocrine system, stimulates the contraction of the uterus. This produces pain sensed by the nervous system.

Oncogenic virus cores can be_______.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

either RNA or DNA

Explanation:

The advancement of biomedical research techniques and molecular biology has led to the observation of the close relationship between certain viruses and some cancers in various animals. Thus, it has been shown that several DNA and RNA viruses are oncogenic in a wide variety of animals, from amphibians to primates, and there is growing evidence that some human cancers have a viral origin.

Based on this, we can conclude that oncogenic viruses can be composed of DNA or RNA.
