Answer:

(Cells in metaphase/total number of cells) x 24 hours = hours in metaphase

Explanation:

You need to find the proportion of the cells in metaphase to the total number of cells, and multiplying by 24 hours will then give you the number of hours spent in metaphase.

For a more concrete example:

11 metaphase/200 total = .055

.055 x 24 hours = 1.32 hours in metaphase

Tasya [4]

Answer: Every stable population has one or more factors that limit its growth. A limiting factor determines the carrying capacity for a species. A limiting factor can be any biotic or abiotic factor: nutrient, space, and water availability are examples. The size of a population is tied to its limiting factor.  The environment, what food is there and what predators live there. How much food they get and if they are decreasing from weather, predators etc.

One function of the poly-A tail on eukaryotic MRNA sequences is to help the MRNA be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplas
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

In eukaryotes, it is well known that polyadenylation is required to produce the mature messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and it provides stability to the mRNA during translation initiation. In prokaryotic organisms, polyadenylation is required for the degradation of the mRNA in a mechanism that involves three steps: endonucleolytic cleavage, polyadenylation and exonucleolytic degradation. Moreover, it is also important to note that no evidence of polyadenylation has bee reported in some prokaryotes including the halophilic bacteria Haloferax volcanic (Slomovic et al. 2005).
