Answer:

<em>Toxoplasma gondii</em>

Explanation:

<em>Toxoplasma gondii </em>is a single celled parasitic organism. It is found in cat feces. It can cause toxoplasmosis by consumption of contaminated meat, coming in contact with infected cat feces or from mother to child during pregnancy. Most people do not develop symptoms but people with weak immune system and babies may develop flu like symptoms. The symptoms are headache, bodyache, swollen lymph nodes, fever and fatigue.

Since Todd had cleaned the cat litter box and forgot to wash his hands afterwards, he might have come in contact with the cat feces. The parasite was transferred from the feces to his hands from where it was transferred to the food which the customers ate and hence they call came down with flu like symptoms.

1) Interphase is the longest phase and most of the cells are present in that very stage !!


2) Interphase is the longest phase and Anaphase is the shortest phase !! Interphase is the longest phase as in this phase the cells prepare themselves for dividing and it takes most of the time for gathering energy for division ; in this phase DNA also replicate !!


3)
Interphase: DNA replicates;

Prophase: Nuclear membrane starts disappearing and Centrioles go on opposite poles !! DNA condense to form Chromosome.

Metaphase: Chromosome attach to spindle fibre and starts to move to equitorial plate.

Anaphase: Centromere divide and half the chromatid goes on either pole

Telophase: Nuclear membrane starts to reassemble; Chrmosome goes to normal uncoiled state ; Other organelles starts appearing

Cytokinesis: Cell furrow forms and cell divides into two half.


4) In dividing cell nucleus membrane is absent while in non dividing cell the membrane is intact


5) Tip of the onion root is meristamatic cell which divides but if it is permanent cell ; there would be no division !!

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Some particles traveled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

Explanation:

Rutherford concluded from his experiment that there are empty spaces present in most parts of the atom while a heavy positive charge is present in the nucleus of an atom due to which the tiny positively charged particles deflects because of positive-positive charge repulsion. Most of positively charged particles passes undeflected which indicated the presence of empty spaces in the atoms. The electrons revolve around the nucleus have no effect on the deflection of positively charged particles.

Alicia is being tickled by her older sister. which divisions of the nervous system are receiving the signals from her sister’s f
Finger [1]

In this case, when Alicia is being tickled  by her older sister, the divisions of the nervous system which are responsible for receiving the signals from her sister’s fingers are called somatosensory cortex and anterior cingulated cortex nervous system. 

When you are touched lightly, the effect of having that ticklish sensation is caused by the analysis of two regions of the brain. For example, when our brain analyses the pressure of the touch, this is the work of the somatosensory cortex. On the other hand, as soon as something touches your skin, the signal sent from the skin's sensory receptors also passes through the anterior cingulated cortex.<span>This is where the pleasant feelings are governed. </span>
