Answer: During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.
Explanation:
Isotonic solution.
Since it has the same salt concentration as the cell the solution is neither hypotonic or hypertonic.
<span>Lafora disease is the most severe teenage-onset progressive epilepsy, a unique form of glycogenosis with perikaryal accumulation of an abnormal form of glycogen, and a neurodegenerative disorder exhibiting an unusual generalized organellar disintegration. The disease is caused by mutations of the EPM2A gene, which encodes two isoforms of the laforin protein tyrosine phosphatase, having alternate carboxyl termini, one localized in the cytoplasm (endoplasmic reticulum) and the other in the nucleus. To date, all documented disease mutations, including the knockout mouse model deletion, have been in the segment of the protein common to both isoforms. It is therefore not known whether dysfunction of the cytoplasmic, nuclear, or both isoforms leads to the disease. In the present work, we identify six novel mutations, one of which, c.950insT (Q319fs), is the first mutation specific to the cytoplasmic laforin isoform, implicating this isoform in disease pathogenesis. To confirm this mutation's deleterious effect on laforin, we studied the resultant protein's subcellular localization and function and show a drastic reduction in its phosphatase activity, despite maintenance of its location at the endoplasmic reticulum.

Mutualism since the clown fish and the anemone both benefit from each other.
Answer:
Option-D
Explanation:
Plasmodesmata are the plasma membrane lined pores present in the cells of the plants. Inside these pores runs a closed tubelike structure which is an extension of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The plasmodesmata allows cell to cell communication which involves symplast mode of transport that is through its cytoplasm.
The small water soluble molecules like amino acid and sugars can easily pass through these plasmodesmata via diffusion. The large molecules can be transported through these plamodesmata through selective diffusion.
Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
