Why a cell spends the majority of its time in interphase.

Biology
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]2 years ago
4 0

A cell spends the majority of its time in interphase because during this period the cell grows and synthesizes materials required during and after its division. During interphase, the cell duplicates its genetic material.

The cell cycle can be divided into a long interphase and a short mitotic (M) phase.

The interphase can in turn be divided into three phases: Growth 1 (G1) phase,  Synthesis (S) phase and Growth 2 (G2) phase.

During the S phase, the cell duplicates its genetic material, which is sharply controlled by different cellular mechanisms (e.g., checkpoint mechanisms).

During G1 and G2 phases,  the cell synthesizes all the proteins required during the M phase and after cell division.

What happens to the bunny population if a friend is never added? What happens when you add a friend
pochemuha

While pet rabbits can survive alone without another bunny living with them, they can get very lonely and sad, as rabbits are naturally herd animals. No matter how much human attention they receive, that does not replace attention from a fellow rabbit friend.

When one rabbit is introduced to another rabbit, they may not always get along. However, they will always be very curious when they first meet, and can become close friends after bonding for a while. Keeping close supervision on bunnies when they first meet, however, is very crucial, as they could get into a fight and hurt each other.
