Why are flood plain soils particularly fertile

Biology

Answer:

Due to the deposition of silt.

Explanation:

The Floodplain is a generally flat area of land next to a river or stream. When the river floods, water containing sediments and particles from the upper course and middle course of the river gets washed onto the Floodplain. The nutrients front these sediments and the water is absorbed into the soil for it's enrichment and fertilisation.

How do hormones relate to the estrous cycle?

choli [55]

Answer:

Estrous cycles give females repeated opportunities to become pregnant throughout their productive lifetime. The cycle is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which produces hormones that dictate reproductive events.

Materials move within the cell 's cytosol by diffusion, and certain materials move through the plasma membrane by diffusion. ... Diffusion: Diffusion through a permeable membrane moves a substance from an area of high concentration (extracellular fluid, in this case) down its concentration gradient (into the cytoplasm). Water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are among the few simple molecules that can cross the cell membrane by diffusion (or a type of diffusion known as osmosis ). Diffusion is one principle method of movement of substances within cells, as well as the method for essential small molecules to cross the cell membrane.The cell membrane controls what goes in and out by having protein channels that act like funnels in some cases and pumps in other cases. ... Active transport requires energy, because protein machines actively grab molecules on one side of the membrane and push them through to the other side

Number the following steps in the correct order and tell which stage it occurs in:

zimovet [89]

Answer:

d. Genetic material replicates and is joined at the centromere ----- INTERPHASE

b. Chromosomes line up at the equator and chromatids are attached to spindle fibers---- METAPHASE

e. Centromeres divide and single-stranded chromosomes move to the poles ---- ANAPHASE

c. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear ---- TELOPHASE

a. A cleavage furrow or cell plate forms, separating the nuclei ---- CYTOKINESIS

Explanation:

This question depicts the events that occur in the cell cycle. The cell cycle begins with the preparatory phase called INTERPHASE and stops at the cytoplasm division called CYTOKINESIS. The correct order of the options in this question are:

1. D - The genetic material (DNA) replicates at the Interphase stage, specifically the Synthesis phase. The DNA replication is one of the steps the cell takes during the Interphase to prepare itself for division. The replication of DNA forms a structure called SISTER CHROMATIDS, which are replicated chromosomes held at the Centromere.

2. B - After the Interphase stage, comes the actual division (Mitosis). This option shows what occurs in the Metaphase stage of Mitosis. The spindle microtubules attaches to the kinetochore of each chromosome (sister chromatids) and they become aligned at the equator/middle of the cell.

3. E -- This option shows the occurrences in the Anaphase stage of Mitosis. The aligned chromosomes are separated and pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibres. Each pole contains a single strand chromatid of a pair. This is actually the essence of the replication process in Interphase stage.

4. C -- After the division of the nuclear material (chromosomes), a process called KARYOKINESIS, the important structures begin to reform in each pole of the cell during the Telophase stage. Prior to separation of chromosomes at the Anaphase stage, the membrane that bounds the nucleus called NUCLEAR MEMBRANE alongside the nucleolus is degraded in order for the spindle microtubules to assess the chromosomes. These structures form at each pole during Telophase stage.

5. A -- After karyokinesis (division of nuclear material), the cytoplasmic content of the cell needs to separate into two in a process called Cytokinesis. Cytokinesis occurs differently in plant and animal cells. Plant cells forms a cell plate due to their cell wall while Animal cells form a cleavage furrow at the equator of the cell.
