Most bacteria have an optimal surface area-to-volume ratio (SA/V) that balances growth, available nutrients, and cellular compon

ents. A sphere-shaped bacterium and a rod-shaped bacterium have the same volume, but the surface area of the sphere-shaped bacterium is 4.6 µm2 and that of the rod-shaped bacterium is 0.8 µm2.
Which statement compares the nutrient diffusion of the bacteria?

-It will be the same in the sphere-shaped and rod-shaped bacteria since both have similar SA/V ratios.
-It will be slower in the sphere-shaped bacterium since it has a higher SA/V ratio.
-It will be faster in the sphere-shaped bacterium since it has a higher SA/V ratio.
-It will be faster in the sphere-shaped bacterium since it has a lower SA/V ratio.

Single-celled eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes. Later, which larger, more complex organisms did they evolve into?
sdas [7]
A l,ll,lll and lV would be the answer because a eukaryote is an organism with complex cells, or a single cell with a complex structures. In these cells the genetic material is organized into chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Animals, plants, algae and fungi are all eukaryotes. There are also eukaryotes amongst single-celled protists.

Describe the key chromosome behaviors during mitosis.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

During mitosis, the chromosomes are distributed equally in the resulting chromosome. The chromosome number was doubled in the S phase of the interphase and the cell is ready for mitosis. The chromosomes are more condensed and twisted in prophase. It is also double in length. During the metaphase, the chromosomes are arranged in the metaphase plate. The microtubules from the centriole attach to the centromere of each chromosome and pull them towards the pole.  

Thus each chromatid pulls apart and migrates towards the poles. The nuclear membrane and nucleus disappear during mitosis. At the end of telophase, the daughter cells contain an equal number of chromatids as in the parent cell.  

Sometimes the microtubules of centrioles do not function properly and fail to pull the chromosomes equally to the cells. Thus one of the daughter cells contains more chromosomes and another fewer chromosomes. This occurs in anaphase. This results in the non-disjunction of chromosomes.  

Sometimes centromere splits transversely instead of longitudinal division. This results in the formation of 2 daughter chromosomes of unequal length. This is called the isochromosomes.  

The number of chromosomes distributed in the daughter cells results in a normal cell or any genetic disorder. The main function of mitosis to produce daughter cells having an equal number of chromosomes present in the parent cell.
