Answer: Telophase

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of division of the nucleus, which consists of the equal sharing of genetic material (DNA). This type of division occurs in somatic cells and the next step after mitosis is the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis), to form two genetically identical daughter cells.

First, it is necessary for the genetic material to be duplicated, so that each newly created cell receives the correct number of chromosomes (structure smade up of DNA). To separate these chromosomes, during <u>anaphase</u>, the chromosomes are anchored to the spindle microtubules and aligned at the metaphase plate (the center of the cell). The sister chromatids (two copies of a chromosome) are separated by the microtubules anchored to their kinetochores as they disassemble, heading toward the respective centrosomes (an organelle in which microtubules grow). Then, the microtubules pushing the centrosomes (and the set of chromosomes associated with them) toward opposite ends of the cell. Since it is necessary for the chromosomes to go to the poles of the cell, new cells are formed. So in this step, <u>it is necessary that the nuclear envelope is not present (otherwise, the nucleus could not divide).</u>

During <u>telophase</u>, microtubules not attached to kinetochores continue to elongate, further stretching the cell. The sister chromosomes are each associated with one of the poles, and as <u>the division of the nucleus is completed, the nuclear envelope reforms around both chromosome sets</u>,<u> using fragments of the nuclear envelope of the original cell.</u> The chromosomes are decondensed back into chromatin and only the cytokineses remain.

The fluorophore labels proteins that are part of the nuclear membrane and as telophase forms back, these proteins are expressed more. So, since the proteins of the nuclear envolope are labeled with a green fluoroforum, the green fluorescence would be most intense during telophase. Therefore there will be more intensity of green color compared to anaphase where the nuclear membrane is disintegrated.

Answer:

Lactate: fermentation in human muscle

Ethanol: fermentation in yeast and bacteria

Acetyl CoA: aerobic oxidation

Explanation:

Lactate is produced in lactic fermentation in human muscle. Lactic fermentation in muscle cells is a process that occurs alternatively, in situations where the body does not perform aerobic respiration. Considered a short-term metabolic device, activated when the body is subjected to intense physical effort under conditions of low muscular oxygenation.

Alcoholic Fermentation, also known as ethanol fermentation, is the anaerobic pathway performed by yeast and some bacteria, in which simple sugars are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts usually function under aerobic conditions, either in the presence of oxygen, but are also capable of functioning under anaerobic conditions, or in the absence of oxygen. When oxygen is not readily available, fermentation alcoholic beverages occur in the yeast cell cytoplasm.

Acetyl CoA results from aerobic oxidation. This process occurs in mitochondria during cellular respiration, where pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, can be substituted, and often is, by fatty acids. This is because pyruvic acid is used to form a compound called Acetyl Coenzyme A or Acetyl CoA. In this sense, Acetyl CoA can also be produced by the degradation of fatty acids by a reaction called β oxidation.

Identify the correct statements about Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a.

c.

Explanation:

Lesch Nyhan syndrome is characterized by behavioral and neurological abnormalities, and excess uric acid production in the body. It occurs in males, almost exclusively.

Changes (mutations) in the HPRT1 gene causes Lesch Nyhan syndrome and is inherited in a recessive X-linked way. Several symptoms of Lesch Nyhan syndrome are Inflammatory arthritis (gout),  involuntary movements, self-injury and kidney stones.

Hence, the correct option are a. and c.
