Why do chromosomes condense at the start mitosis

Biology
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]2 years ago
3 0
This condensation is needed to allow the chromosomes to move along the mitotic spindle without becoming tangled or broken during their distribution to daughter cells. DNA in this highly condensed state can no longer be transcribed, so all RNA synthesis stops during mitosis.

The table below shows the elements that mainly comprise each of the four layers of Earth: Elements in Layers Layer Main Elements
yanalaym [24]

Layer that is 0.2 to 1.1 percent of Earth's total diameter is the thinnest layer of the Earth- Crust.

So, the correct answer is: oxygen and silicone. The crust consists of tectonic plates (in relative motion one from another) and has 5–70 km (~3–44 miles) in depth. The most abundant elements of this layer are: oxygen-46.6 percent by weight; silicon-27.7 percent; aluminum-8.1 percent; iron-5 percent.

Hydrothermal vents pump super heated salt water into the ocean that is filled with various minerals. Because of this, there is a
pychu [463]
This is absolutely false.
There is a wide diversity of life teaming around hydrothermal vents. These communities include primary producer organisms, but instead of obtaining energy from the sun, these bacteria use a process called chemosynthesis to convert minerals and other chemicals in the water into energy. These bacteria support a wide range of other animal species, including giant tube worms, deep sea mussels, serpulid or “feather duster” worms, and vent crabs, the apex predator of the vent community.

Infer why it is more difficult to make an antiviral drug that fights a virus that replicates through the lysogenic cycle than it
jekas [21]

Answer:

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome gets incorporated into the host genome and replicates with the host genome. In the lysogenic cycle, no proteins and enzymes of the virus are formed while in the lytic cycle protein of viral capsid form and new phages generate in the host cell.

So as the viral genome integrates into the host genome in the lysogenic cycle, therefore, it is difficult for any drug to differentially act on the viral genome. So there are great chances for drugs to target the host genome in the host cell.  

But in virus that replicates through lytic cycle drugs can selectively act on viral enzyme and proteins. Therefore it is difficult to make a drug that affects lysogenic virus.
