Summary Introduction
To explain: The process at molecular level as the chromosomes becomes shorter and thicker during cell division.
Concept introduction: Cell division is a natural process in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. In cell nucleus, DNA is present as chromosomes.

- How to write the methodology? I have a practical of HOMOGENIZATION AND FREEZE-DRYING, I need to do a lab report, but I don't know how to write the methodology. Here is the introduction: HomogenizationHomogenization is a process that involves breaking apart cells to release theircytoplasm and its contents. When the purpose is to extract organelles, it is frequentlydone in two steps; first, using a blender to break the tissue up, and then with anultrasonic or mechanical tissue disruptor. The organelles are then generally separatedusing differential centrifugation.Freeze-dryingFreeze-drying also known as lyophilization, and it is a dehydration process typicallyused to preserve perishable material or make the material more convenient fortransport. It works by freezing the material and then reducing the surrounding pressureto allow the frozen water in the material to sublimate directly from the solid phase tothe gas phase.arrow_forwardBiologists have long been interested in the effects of radiation on cells. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of radium on mitosis of chick embryo cells growing in culture. A population of experimental cells was examined under the microscope for the number of cells in telophase (as a measure of mitosis occurring) before, during, and after exposure to radium. The results are shown in the Figure. What is the effect of radium exposure on mitosis? Source: R. G. Canti and M. Donaldson. 1926. The effect of radium on mitosis in vitro.

- . Genomes A, B, and C all have basic chromosomenumbers (x) of nine. These genomes were derivedoriginally from plant species that had diverged from each other sufficiently far back in the evolutionarypast that the chromosomes from one genome can nolonger pair with the chromosomes from any other genome. For plants with the following kinds of euploidchromosome complements, (i) state the number ofchromosomes in the organism; (ii) provide terms thatdescribe the individual’s genetic makeup as accurately as possible; (iii) state whether or not it is likelythat this plant will be fertile, and if so, give the number of chromosomes (n) in the gametes.a.

- Asaparrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forwardClassifiation of Llfe A new organism was discovered in a deep sea vent at the bottom of the ocean. The researchers collected the sample and made careful observations of it. The picture at right shows a microscopic image captured at 1000X its actual size. Below are some other observations made: • When DNA was isolated from the cell, it was mixed with an equal portion of histone proteins • There are no visible organelles present inside the cell • The specimen seem to die in the presence of oxygen • Able to live in conditions that mimic deep sea vents without any external food source provided Based on these observations, determine each of the following and provide a clear rationale. A) To which domain would you assign this organism? Why? B) Propose a hypothesis of how they obtain nutrients. Are these most likely autotrophs or heterotrophs? Provide a rationale.arrow_forward
