Increased urination brought on by drinking too mugh ethyl alcohol is due to
inn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, inhibition of vasopressin.

Explanation:

Vasopressin also called ADH or anti-diuretic hormone results in the resorption of water by the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron, and thus, minimizes the reduction of water via urine. Consuming ethyl alcohol results in the prevention of the secretion of ADH that results in frequent urination.

A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 160 cells in interphase, 20 cells in prophase, 6 cells in prometaphase, 2 cell
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

M phase: 4.8 hr

Prophase: 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 0.84 hr

Telophase: 0.6 hr

Explanation:

Mitosis, also known as M phase, is the process of nuclear division after interphase, which is followed by cytoplasmic division via cytokinesis. Mitosis can be subdivided into the following phases: Prophase,  Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In this case, 160 cells are in interphase (for a total of 200 cells), thereby 40 cells are in mitosis >> 200 - 160 = 40 cells. Since the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, it is possible to calculate the average duration of each phase:

M phase: 40/200 = 0.2 x 24 hr = 4.8 hr

Prophase: 20/200 = 0.1 x 24 hr = 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 6/200 = 0.030 x 24 hr = 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 2/200 = 0.01 x 24 hr = 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 7/200 = 0.035 x 24 hr = 0.84 hr

Telophase: 5/200 = 0.025 x 24 hr = 0.6 hr
