Roosevelt initiated the development of the nuclear bomb during World War II primarily due to concerns that Nazi Germany was pursuing similar advanced weapons technology. The fear of falling behind in a potential arms race motivated the U.S. to accelerate its own research, leading to the Manhattan Project. Additionally, the bomb was seen as a means to potentially bring a swift end to the war and save lives by avoiding a prolonged conflict. This decision was also influenced by scientific insights and the urgency created by the war environment.

Was Einstein involved in creating the nuclear bomb?

Other than writing the letter to Roosevelt at the request of Leo Szilard (who held the Nuclear Chain Reaction patent already), which got Roosevelt to begin a study committee with a budget of $6000, Einstein did not participate. Eventually the committee recommended starting a full development program, which became the Manhattan Project.

When does the nuclear membrane begin to fade from view during cell division?

The nuclear membrane begins to fade from view during cell division in the prophase stage. This is when the nuclear envelope breaks down and the chromosomes become visible as they condense.


Which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope reform and the nucleoli reappear?

The nuclear envelope reforms and the nucleoli reappear during telophase of mitosis. This phase marks the end of nuclear division as the newly formed daughter nuclei begin to re-establish their nuclear envelopes.


Who was The scientist who advised Roosevelt to begin work on the creation of atomic weapons?

Albert Einstein, he and a team of scientists worked on the Manhattan project which resulted in the creation/invention of nuclear weaponry


When does oogenesis begin in which stage of female growth and development?

Oogenesis begins during fetal development, specifically during the development of the ovaries in the fetus. It is the process by which female gametes (egg cells) are produced in the ovaries.


At what stage of development does the nervous system begin to form?

The nervous system begins to form during the third week of embryonic development.


What phase does the nuclear envelope reform?

The nuclear envelope reforms during telophase, which is the final stage of mitosis. In telophase, the nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear, and the chromosomes begin to decondense back into chromatin.


Besides the nucleus what else is broken down during prophase?

During prophase, the nuclear membrane breaks down, allowing the condensed chromosomes to be released into the cytoplasm. Additionally, the centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell and the spindle fibers begin to form.
