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

Biology
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 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.

A study is done on a group of families in Sweden that are segregating a genetic disorder. A statistical estimate of whether two
sammy [17]

Answer:

This disorder is caused by mutations in either of two different genes; one of these genes is linked to the DNA marker locus and the other gene is not.

Explanation:

A gene marker (also known as a molecular marker) is defined as a particular DNA sequence that has a specific physical location on a given chromosome. The gene markers are always physically linked with genes of interest, thereby they are useful for identifying patients affected by a given disease and/or a particular phenotypic trait. In this case, in the first study, genetic variation of the marker has been shown to be useful to map one <em>locus</em> that is associated with the disease phenotype. However, in the second study, a second <em>locus</em> that is not linked to the marker can segregate independently, thereby showing different results from the first study (in this case, it is imperative to develop a new genetic linkage analysis to discover genetic markers linked to the second gene, which is also responsible for the disease phenotype).
