Cell division is necessary for many life roles. It is needed for prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes to reproduce. Multicellular eukaryotes require cell division to develop from embryos into full-grown organisms. Those organisms then need further cell division for processes like growth, cell renewal, and damage repair. Describe the phases of the cell cycle, including the mitotic phases. Provide at least one major characteristic of each phase.

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43
