Introduction:
A cell grows until it reaches its size limit, then it either stops growing or divides. Most cells undergo division. Cell division helps a cell to reproduce and makes the organism grow and heal certain injuries. Cells reproduce by a cycle of growing and dividing called the cell cycle. Prokaryotic cells reproduce by a method called binary fission.

Answer to Problem 7A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option D. Cell cycle
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
OptionD. Cell cycle- The sequence of events in the life of a cell is called the cell cycle. It includes cellular growth and cell division. There are three main stages of a cell cycle; interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis.
Interphase- This is the first stage in which a cell spends most of the time. It is the stage in which a cell grows, carries out cellular activities and replicates.
The next stage is mitosis in which cell’s nucleus and nuclear material divides.
The last stage is cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm of the cell divided creating a new cell.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option A. chromatin- Chromosomes are made up of chromatin, a substance consisting of DNA and protein. Long molecules of DNA are packed in chromatin in a more compact form that helps it to fit within the nucleus. Chromatin does not refer to cell growth and cell division. Hence this option is incorrect.
Option B. cytoplasm- Cytoplasm is a thick gel like liquid inside a cell that is enclosed by plasma membrane. It contains water, salts and proteins. Cell organelles are present in the cytoplasm. Everything inside the cell and outside the nucleus is called cytoplasm. Hence this option is incorrect.
Option C. mitosis- The second stage in cell cycle is mitosis during which only nucleus divides. There is no cellular growth and cell division during this stage. Hence this option is incorrect.

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forward

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
