PROBLEM: Sentence 1: Resistors connected end to end are said to be in series. Sentence 2: My preference was to reduce the range of the RIT circuit by placing a 22 K resistor in series with the high end of the RIT pot and a 10 K resistor in series with the low end.

SOLUTION: neutral

PROBLEM: Sentence 1: The chromosomes duplicate in the interphase phase. Sentence 2: It is as though reduction in levels of the 23C gamma-tubulin lead to a limited numbers of chromosome duplication cycles in the absence of mitosis, but this is followed by interphase cell cycle arrest.

SOLUTION:
neutral
