Answer:
Explanation:
1. a. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis.
b. The third phase is anaphase. This phase only takes about 0.8 percent of the cell cycle to complete, which is the shortest time required out of all the phases. During anaphase the sister chromatids, or the two identical parts of a chromosome, are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers.
2. Mitosis is important for three main reasons: development and growth cell replacement and asexual reproduction.
- Development and growth. After meiosis has produced a gamete, and this has fused with another gamete to form an embryo, the embryo grows using mitosis. ...
- Cell replacement. ...
- Asexual reproduction.
Answer:
9 amino acids
Explanation:
A segment of a gene that has 27 nucleotides will code for<u> 9 amino acids.</u>
<em>Each codon on the gene potentially represents an amino acid and a codon is made up of 3 nucleotides each. Hence, in order to find out the total number of amino acids that a gene segment with 27 nucleotides can code for, the number of nucleotides should be divided by 3.</em>
number of amino acids = number of nucleotides/3
27/3 = 9 codons/amino acids
The correct option is C.
Scanning electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses beams of electrons that are reflected to form images to scan the surfaces of mounted biological specimens. High resolution, three dimensional images can be obtained via the reflected beam of electrons. Thus, the electron scanning microscope is the perfect microscope for examining the contours on the surface of a bacterial cell.
The answer is true. Their strike can break aquarium glass and even split open human thumbs.
