Answer:
8 chromosomes
Explanation:
Diploid state is when an organism have two set of chromosomes (2n) i.e. combination of two haploid (n) gametes containing one set of chromosome each. Sexually reproducing organisms whose somatic or body cells are diploid (2n) undergo meiosis to produce gametes or sex cells with haploid number (n).
Therefore, in the newly discovered Biologica terificia species of snail, if the haploid state (n) of their gametes is 4, then their diploid (2n) somatic cells must be 4 × 2 = 8.
The question specifies the chromosomal number at the G1 phase of Interphase. At this stage, the cell is preparing to undergo division by increasing in size and duplicating its organnelles but not yet its genetic material which is not until the next phase called S-phase. Hence, the chromosome number of somatic cells remain 8 at the G1 phase.
Answer: C. There is strike-slip fault between the Pacific and the Northern American plates.
Explanation:
Answer:
Apoptosis does not involve:
c. lysis of the cell
Explanation:
Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that occurs under normal physiological conditions and in a controlled manner. Normally seen in cell turnover, embryogenesis, also involved in processes of immune, nervous and endocrine systems.
The main morphological and biochemical changes seen during the apoptosis are the fragmentation of DNA by endonucleases, nuclear, chromatin and cytoplasmatic condensation, apoptotic bodies formation (membrane bound-vesicles form of cell parts) and the phagocytosis (digestion) of those bodies by the scavenger cells.
Apoptosis is regulated by cell- signaling pathways, the caspases, a family of cysteine proteases, are the ones involved in the process.
In the process there is no lysis of the cell as this could lead to a inflammatory response (just happens in necrosis) which would affect contiguous cells, and will involve immune cells. In apoptosis there is just a membrane blebbing, but it does not loss its integrity.
