Also, because the chromatids are stuck together after replicating, it is also reasonable to say that there are 46 pairs of chromatids (or chromosomes) at the end of S phase. If the cell goes through mitosis (normal cell division) those 46 pairs will separate and the two daughter cells will have 46 chromosomes.
Estimates of the survival of infants and children in a persistent vegetative state, based on the clinical experience of pediatric neurologists, were published recently10. These estimates range from 4.1 Â±0.7 years, for infants up to 2 months of age, to 7.4 Â±1.8 years, for children 7 to 18 years old.
Characteristics of the vegetative state. 1  Return of a sleep-wake cycle with periods of eye opening and eye closing. 2  May moan or make other sounds especially when tight muscles are stretched. 3  May cry or smile or make other facial expressions without apparent cause.  May briefly move eyes toward persons or objects.
