If a cytosine base is substituted for by a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication, the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.

The change in the sequence of DNA is known as mutation.

When a base substitution occurs in the sequence of a DNA during replication, the genetic information in the region where the substitution occurred becomes compromised.

During transcription, the process of encoding genetic information on DNA into RNA, the base substituted is also transcribed along. If cytosine is substituted by thymine, adenine is transcribed instead of guanine.

During the translation of the genetic codes, the wrong amino acids might end up being translated due to the substituted base, leading to a faulty protein.

Mitosis is a type of cell division. organize the images below to show the steps of mitosis.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct order is F, E, C, G, H, A, D, and B (look at the image in the attached files)

Explanation:

Interphase: Stages G1, S, and G2. At this point probably, the chromatin duplication has already occurred, but it is still lax or dispersed. It has not condensed yet. Two pairs of centrioles are outside the nucleus (FIGURE F)
Prophase: Centrioles move forward to the opposite poles of the cell. Chromatin is condensed and individual chromosomes are now visible. The nuclear membrane breaks into many pieces. Spindle apparatus -microtubules- forms. (FIGURE E)
Metaphase: The polar and the kinetochore fibers drive each individual chromosome to the equatorial plane. This stage ends when all the chromosomes are completely arranged in the medial area. (FIGURE C)
Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to the opposite poles of the cells, driven by the microtubules. In each pole, there are a pair of centrioles (FIGURE G and H).
Telophase: The nuclear membrane rearranges. Each sister chromatid becomes now a new chromosome. There is a pair of centrioles outside each of the nuclei. (FIGURE A)
Cytokinesis occurs at the end of the cell division. The rest of the cell is divided into two new daughter cells. Each daughter cell is an identical copy of the other cell, with the exact same genetic material (FIGURE D).
Decondensation of the genetic material of each new cell (FIGURE B).

Why must a cell that needs to divide follow the sequence of the events of the cell cycle (G1-S-G2-M-C)?

lakkis [162]

C) the phases are there for the cell to grow and mature properly ( much like a human) - if they don’t grow properly they won’t be able to reproduce.

inessss [21]

The best precaution against carbon monoxide poisoning is to keep air moving through the boat.

Carbon monoxide is a potentially deadly gas that is produced any time a carbon-based fuel burns. If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning you must do the following: open doors and windows, turn off gas appliances. To determine if a person is poisoned by carbon monoxide you may look for the following signs and symptoms: dull headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision, loss of consciousness.
