Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason that it is necessary for the chromosomes to become highly compacted in preparation for cell division.
Introduction: Cell is the “basic unit” of life. Every organism is composed of a cell. Cell division is an important function performed by every cell to increase its populations and to survive. The process in which a single cell splits into two progeny cells is termed as cell division. Different organisms have a different mechanism for cell division such as binary fission, budding, mitosis, meiosis and so on.

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_forwardYeast artificial chromosome how the synthesised?arrow_forward
