Biology

Serga [27]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

An invasive species is an organism that causes ecological or economic harm in a new environment where it is not native.

Explanation:

Invasive species can harm both the natural resources in an ecosystem as well as threaten human use of these resources. An invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and other means.

Invasive species are capable of causing extinctions of native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can result in huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a structure composed of several proteins that associate with the centromere region of a chromosome and that can bind to spindle microtubules

Explanation:

Kinetochores have  vvery important role in the cell division-mitosis.

During the metaphase of mitosis, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. Some of the microtubules bind to kinetochore (kinetochore microtubules) while other don’t: they connect with the microtubules from the opposite pole, stabilizing the spindle.

During the anaphase, kinetochore microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles, helping the sister chromatids separate from each other.
