The elephant cell will have 20 chromosomes.

Cells undergo interphase before getting to the mitotic phase. At the S phase of the interphase, the amount of DNA in the cell is double by replication. However, the number of chromosomes remains intact.

Thus, the cell gets to the mitotic phase with the same number of chromosomes that is usually present in normal vegetative cells of the animal.

Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are joined into a continuous strand by _____.Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a. Ligase

b. Ligase ( it's repeated)

Explanation:

DNA synthesis begins, therefore, by synthesizing a short segment of RNA called a primer, which primer is synthesized by an enzyme called Primasa. Primasa is an RNA polymerase that uses DNA as a template. All fragments of Okazaki begin with a Primer. Subsequently, the DNA polymerase III Holoenzyme performs the synthesis of the corresponding DNA fragment until it reaches the next primer. At that time, DNA polymerase Ia replaces the DNA polymerase Holoenzyme III. The DNA polymerase I is responsible for removing the RNA primer through its 5'P-3'OH exonueotic activity and at the same time fills the hole by synthesizing DNA.

Finally, the two Okazaki fragments have to be joined, it is necessary to link the 3'OH end of a fragment with the 5'P of the next fragment. This work of sealing and joining the successive fragments is done by Ligase.

Explain the difference between bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bacteriostatic antibiotics can be defined as those antibiotics, which prevents the growth of bacteria. These keeps the growth of bacteria in the stationary phase so that bacteria cannot cause harm to the host.

The bactericidal antibiotics can be defined as those antibiotics, which kills the bacteria.

The example of bacteriostatic antibiotic is Tetracycline  that it inhibit the bacteria ribosome production of proteins. This way bacterial growth and reproduction will get restricted.

The example of bacteriocidal antibiotic is polymyxin B. It causes injuries to the plasma membrane of the bacteria which can be lethal for bacteria.
