It is a codon. A codon codes for Amino acids and an Anti-codon Codes for the breakdown of Amino Acids.
The major function of the contractile vacuole of amoeba is osmoregulation. The solute concentration found in the cell of amoeba's cytoplasm is more than the solute concentration in the freshwater that surround the external part of the organism, thus, water enter the cell through osmosis. The contractile vacuole collect the excess water and expel it through an opening in the cell membrane. By doing this, the contractile vacuole maintains the water balance in amoeba. This how the contractile vacuole normally operate.
In a situation where amoeba is placed in seawater, then water from the cell cytoplasm will rush out of amoeba cell, because of the higher salt content of the surrounding medium. The contractile vacuole will respond to the situation by increasing its contraction and pumping water out the cell in an accelerated manner, this will lead to the shrinking of the cell.
During metaphase 1 of meiosis of the cell cycle chromosomal translocation occur.
Explanation:
Chromosomal translocation is abnormal phenomenon when a fragment of chromosomes detaches and gets stick to the non-homologous chromosome in an individual. These are causative of aneuploid, cancer and infertility in organism.
In metaphase 1 of meiosis the chromosomes gets aligned on the metaphase plate. This leads to surety of equal number of chromosome in the cell.
Chromosomal translocation are seen in metaphase 1 because it is the phase of rearrangement of chromosomes where fragments easily gets attach to the other chromosome.
