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

Biology

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.

The Prostate gland

The prostate is a walnut-sized organ that surrounds the first part of the urethra. It is located between the bladder and the penis. Semen is formed by the prostate by combining a thick white fluid it initially produced with the sperm from the testicles. It also produces an antibiotic protein known as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) that changes the semen into liquid.

Under what environmental conditions would a zygote not undergo meiosis
sashaice [31]

A zygote will not undergo meiosis in an environmental state that is not favorable for the zygote’s survival i.e. the chance of the zygote to survive is not certain. Take for example, chlamydomonas will form a zygote under normal asexual mitotic reproduction in a favorable environmental condition. However, under unfavorable environmental conditions the organism also reproduce sexually to form a zygote but will never proceed to meiotic division because of the unfavorable environmental state.

Blood groups are a classic example of ______________ inheritance in humans?
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>There are multiple types of inheritance mechanisms in humans. The well-known ones are include autosomal dominant, where only one copy of the gene is enought for the individual to express that characteristic. Another type is autosomal recessive, in which an individual must receive a copy of the gene from both parents in order for the gene to be expressed. The type concerning blood groups is codominance and it is when two different versions of a gene are expressed. Both of the alleles have a role in the appearance of the characteristic. Both the A blood group and B blood groups are dominant; however, if both alleles are present, the individual has an AB blood group.</span><span />
