Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

In three to five sentences, describe the advantages and disadvantages of these maps in modeling mitosis.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Mitosis involves in cell division.

Explanation:

Mitosis may be defined as a process of cell division which results in the formation of two daughter cells each from a parent cell and each cell having having the same number of chromosomes and chromosomes of the same type as that of the parent nucleus.

The main difference between meiosis and mitosis of a nucleus cell is that it involves only one cell division. And so the cell goes by the steps of prophase, then metaphase, then anaphase and finally telophase. The specialized cells could not survive independently to each other, so they have to develop some complex system of communications like the circulatory system and the nervous system. In this way they can survive. If one of the system dies, entire organisms is more likely to follow.

Explain the process of mitosis in a tissue culture for normal cells.
babunello [35]
Mitosis simply refers to cell division in which one cell divides and produce two new cells that are identical.

Here are the steps:
(1) Prophase
<span>(a) Early prophase when cells starts to break down some structures and build others up. It sets up the stage when the chromosome is dividing.</span><span>(b) Prometaphase, mitotic spindle begins to capture and organize the chromosomes.
</span>
(2) Metaphase
<span>The spindle has captured all the chromosomes. They lined them up at the middle of the cell making it ready for division.
</span>
(3) Anaphase
<span>The sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.
</span>
(4) Telophase
<span>The cell is nearly finished dividing, and it starts to re-establish normal internal structures as cytokinesis takes place.</span>
