The nucdlear DNA content of a single sperm cell varies depending on the species of the organism. If the amount of DNA in a singl

e sperm cell is 2.5 picogram(s), calculate the amount of DNA at different stages of meiosis. Part A What would be the expected nuclear DNA content (in picograms) of the cell before DNA replication has occurred in Interphase I (before S phase) ?Part B What would be the expected nuclear DNA content of a cell at metaphase 1?

Answer:

1. 5 pg of DNA.

2. 10 pg of DNA.

Explanation:

The process of meiosis results in the production of the four haploid daughter cells and is involved in the formation of sexual gametes. The sperm cells produced as a result of the meiosis are haploid in their ploidy and therefore contains only "C" amount of DNA.

<u>1. During interphase </u>

The sperms are formed from the diploid spermatocytes which contain 2C amount of DNA. During the cell cycle before the M phase, cell replication takes place in the S phase. The synthesis phase doubles the amount of DNA  and forms 2C to 4C.

Therefore before the S phase or in G1 phase, the DNA amount will be 2C or 2 x 2.5= 5 pg of DNA.

<u>2. At metaphase </u>

After S phase, the amount of DNA increases to 4C which gets distributed during the anaphase that is after the metaphase. Therefore, the amount of DNA during metaphase will be 4C or 4 x 2.5 = 10 pg.

Which structure of the heart is responsible for prevening blood from flowing in tthe wrong direction?
Sloan [31]
The valves are responsible for preventing blood from flowing in the wrong direction, they are present in the veins, and the arteries don't need them because the aorta (biggest artery) pumps or in other words pushes it with such a force that no other force can change its direction, in the veins there is no structure present for pumping them as a result we have got valves so that they go in one direction...... the meaning of the word valve is to allow in one direction

"One of the two major systems that are affected by the stress response is the ____________, which results in increased productio
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is the endocrine system.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system are the two prime systems that take part in the stress response.  

At the time of acute or chronic stress, the endocrine system first makes the hypothalamus to discharge CRH or corticotropin-releasing hormone into the bloodstream. The release of CRH further makes the anterior pituitary to discharge ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone into the blood. This further stimulates the adrenal cortex to discharge cortisol, that is, one of the glucocorticoid hormone into the bloodstream.  

The cortisol finally makes the organs and tissues present within the body to effectively cope up with the initial stress stimulus.
