Answer:
When microorganisms release carbon dioxide into the soil, the acidity of water surrounding soil particles is increased. This increase in acidity allows for rock present in soil to be broken down, releasing minerals into the soil. These minerals are then available for use by plant life.
Answer:
Long protein filaments called kinetochore microtubules extended from poles on either end of the cell and attached to the kinetochores. During metaphase, the kinetochore microtubules pull the sister chromatids back and forth until they align along the equator of the cell, called the equatorial plane.

Answer:
b. giving birth to live young (viviparous)
Explanation:
Monotremes include duck-billed platypus and few other mammalian species that are oviparous. These mammalian species do not give birth to young ones, that is, they are not viviparous. Rather they lay eggs and are oviparous.
These species are also characterized by the absence of teeth. The primitive monotremes also exhibit external fertilization.
Examples of egg-laying mammals include anteaters or echidnas and the duck-billed platypus. The laid eggs are carried by females in an abdominal ouch to keep them warm.
