Question
Chapter 2.2, Problem 8COQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The checkpoints present in a cell cycle.
Introduction:
Checkpoints can be referred as regulatory points in a cell cycle. The cell cycle is the series of incidences occurring during the cell division and during DNA duplication. The cell division takes place in various phases, and checkpoints occur between these phase.
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The importance of checkpoints in the cell cycle.
Introduction:
The cell division takes place in two phases: interphase and the mitosis. The interphase is further divided into three stages: G1, S, and G2. The mitosis starts after G2 phase. The checkpoints play an important role in the regulation of cell division to stop the formation of abnormal cells.

The cellular space around a single fiber can be modeled as if it were a Krogh tissue cylinder. Each fiber has an outside “capillary” radius of 100 µm and the “tissue” radius can be taken as 200 µm. The following values apply to the device:R0 = 20 µM/secaO2 = 1.35 µM/mmHgDO2,T = 1.67 x 10-5 cm2/secPO2,m = 4 x 10-3 cm/secInstead of blood inside the fibers, the oxygen transport and tissue consumption are being investigated by usingan aqueous solution saturated with pure oxygen. As a result, there is no mass transfer resistance in the synthetic“capillary”, only that due to the membrane itself. Rather than accounting for pO2 variations along the length ofthe fiber, use an average value in the “capillary” of 130 mmHg.Is the tissue fully oxygenated?arrow_forward

One of the first things you wish to do is determine how mammals, birds, and reptiles are related. Like any good scientist, you need to consider all available data objectively and without a preconceived “correct” answer. In pursuit of that, you should produce a phylogenetic tree based only on morphological features that show birds and mammals are more closely related. You will then produce a totally different tree, also using morphological features, that shows birds and reptiles are more closely related. Do not forget to include all three groups in both your trees. Based solely off the trees you produce, which relationship would you consider the more likely and why? Once you have answered that question, provide a brief summary of the “modern” understanding of the relationship between these three groups.arrow_forward
