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.

Early in mitosis the nucleus nucleolus and nuclear envelope begins to dissolve in preparation for cell division. In which stage
geniusboy [140]
Early in mitosis, during prophase and prometaphase, the nucleus, nucleolus and nuclear envelope begin to dissolve in preparation for cell division. During telophase, which is the final stage in mitosis,, there is a reversal of effects of prophase and prometaphase; nucleus, nucleolus and nuclear envelope are again formed.

If a plant cell contains more solutes than its surrounding environment, what will happen?
larisa [96]
The cell will incorporate solvent - water. When a plant cell contains more solutes than its surrounding environment it means that it is in a hypertonic state, the osmotic gradient will increase and the water will tend to enter the cell augmenting the t<span>urgor pressure inside the cell wall. Ultimately, it will cause water to enter the plant and reach the cell.</span>

Which choice best describes the purpose of most pharmacogenomic research??
zavuch27 [327]
Pharmacogenomic is defined as <span>the study of the role of the </span>genome<span> in </span>drug<span> response. It is a combination of Pharmacology and Genomics.

It studies how the genetic makeup of an individual affects his or her response to drugs. For example, a certain drug is administered to two individuals. One doesn't have any adverse reaction while the other one has. Pharmacogenomics will then conduct tests and study its results on why two individuals given the same drug have different reaction to it.</span>
