Introduction:
Cells reproduce by a cycle of growing and dividing called the cell cycle. There are three main stages of a cell cycle; interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis. The given graph shows a cell over the course of its cell cycle.
Answer to Problem 21A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option B. cytokinesis
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option B. cytokinesis−The part labeled Bshows cytokinesis. It is the stage in which a cell divides into two daughter cells. The cytoplasm divides resulting in genetically identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives half the number of DNA molecules. Hence this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option A. interphase−This is the first stage of cell cycle in which there is replication of DNA. As per the graph DNA molecules decrease from 8 to 4so there is division of DNA going on in part B. Hence, this is not the correct option.
Option C. mitosis- As per the graph DNA molecules decrease from 8 to 4 so there is division of DNA going on in part B. The cells are dividing into daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes passing to each daughter cell. Hence this is not the correct option.
Option D.

- when we collect fish or mussels we record a variety of biological information, including but not limited their sex, length, weight or a scale or finray or other tissue sample. Why do we do this, and what information are we hoping to obtain from these measurements and taking these samples?arrow_forwardDraw a rough sketch of the control and experimental data using a normal dose/response curve plot: i.e. % of total bound ligand vs. concentration. Indicate Kd and Bmax on this sketch. You don’t need to use exact numbers, but the relative proportions should be closearrow_forwardName something that could be happening to glutamate transporters that could have this effect on glutamate transport (i.e. the difference in glutamate transporters between control and experimental conditions). (Bonus: if you can also guess what the experimental condition is).arrow_forward
- a. For the control condition, calculate Kd. Include units and show your work. b. For the control condition, calculate Bmax. Include units and show your work. c. For the experimental condition, calculate Kd. Include units and show your work. For the experimental condition, calculate Bmax. Include units and show your work.arrow_forwardNow draw a rough sketch of what the control data might look like if in addition to the specific binding, there was also a considerable amount of nonspecific binding (again using a normal dose/response curve)arrow_forwarda.
