- Whether the statement "Peroxisomes are found in only a few specialized types of eukaryotic cell" is true or false.arrow_forwardAll of the following are stages of mitosis except _________. a. prophase b. interphase c. metaphase d. anaphasearrow_forwardVirtually every multicellular organism, including you, goes from a single-celled fertilized egg to a large, multicellular organism. In this post you will demonstrate an understanding of how the process of mitosis leads to the growth of an organism and how cell differentiation results in the wide variety of specialized cells found in a multicellular organism. How does mitosis explain the process of growth? Can growth occur only through mitosis? If every cell in your body is a copy of that original fertilized egg, how is it that some cells are so different than other cells? How does differentiation help explain these different cell types? Cite some specific examples of differentiated (specialized) cells. Please remember to add a question to engage your classmates in the discussion.arrow_forward

- Chromosome ____________- is the process in eukaryotes by which two sister chromatids formed as a consequence of DNA replication, or paired homologous chromosomes, separate from each other and migrate to opposite poles of the nucleus.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is correct? a. In prokaryotes, all cells divide if conditions are favourable; in eukaryotes, only a few cells divide, and they do so according to a developmental program b. After cell division, the daughter cells are genetically identical in prokaryotes but genetically different in eukaryotes c. In prokaryotes, only a few cells divide to ensure survival of the colony without depleting too many resources from the environment d. The process of segregation is more complicated in prokaryotes than in eukaryotes e. Reproductive signals for initiation of cell division are intracellular for prokaryotes and extracellular for eukaryotesarrow_forwardThe cell cycle is highly regulated and involves many steps to ensure that a cell is ready to divide. For this reason, cells cycle between interphase and mitosis. Which of the following describes the consequence of a severe disruption of interphase in cells in healthy tissue? Disruption of interphase will have no effect on mitosis because they are two completely independent processes. Disruption of interphase will lead to a faster and more efficient mitotic cycle, which will result in increased cell division and tissue growth. Disruption of interphase will trigger the cell to switch to a mitotic phase and repeatedly divide, which will result in the massive proliferation of the cells and heightened tissue growth. Disruption of interphase will result in the cell being unable to synthesize proteins and organelles required to divide, which will result in the cell not passing key checkpoints and ceasing to divide.arrow_forward
