1) Cells duplicate their chromosomes before dividing instead of after because the daughter cells would each lose one-half of the genetic information.

The duplication of chromosomes automatically leads to the duplication of the genetic information on the chromosomes and each daughter cell receives a copy each of the genetic information.

If the information are not duplicated before dividing, it means that each daughter cell will receive half information.

2) If a cell that starts with 16 chromosomes lost half of its genes during each cell division, it will take 4 divisions for the gene to remain 1.

First division, the genes would remain 8 from 16
Second division, the genes would remain 4
Third division, the genes would remain 2
Fourth division, the gene would remain only 1.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The overuse of pesticides

Explanation:

Pesticides are usually sprayed on plants so that the pest organisms can be killed. But these chemicals sprayed on plants can be toxic for humans when humans consume crops which have been sprayed with pesticides. Also, erosion causes these toxic chemicals to get eroded in the nearby lakes. The chemicals in the pesticides are harmful for every life that uses this water. Hence, the overuse of pesticides might kill pests but it is also toxic for consumption by humans.

How do the nitrogen bases pairs join in DNA?

Korolek [52]

There are 4 nitrogenous bases in DNA. Adenine pairs with thymine, and Guanine pairs with cytosine. A Dna Nucleotide consists of a 5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. These bases are paired up by weak hydrogen bonds, so when they have have to replicate, the enzyme helicase can easily unzip the Dna.
