I always remembered the differences by Mitosis sounds like My Toes Is. Which means its body cells reproducing. 
And Meiosis is My overies. Which is sex cells reproducing. 

Mitosis - The body cell's nucleus makes a copy of its chromosomes. The Chromotids are then pulled to the poles of the cell and split in half, the cell then divides in half into two new cells. Each cell has one pair of chromosomes each.

Meiosis - The sex cells nucleus makes a copy of each chromosome same as before. But then the similar chromosomes group up and swap parts with each other. Making completely new chromosomes. They then split in half again, making two new cells with two different pairs of chromosomes. Which then split apart Once more creating 4 new cells (From the original one) Each with completely random chromosomes.

What geometric shape is the carbon dioxide molecule? The Lewis structure for CO2 contains two double bonds.
adelina 88 [10]
Answer: Linear

Explaination: The central atom of a carbon dioxide molecule is carbon. Carbon is tetravalent which just means it has 4 valence electrons. Because the valence shell isn’t full, the carbon atom can bond with other atoms creating a total of 4 bonds. This then allows the carbon to double bond with 2 oxygen atoms. Now, the atoms in the CO2 molecule Don’t share the electrons evenly because of atomic number or proton count. Because oxygen has an atomic number of 6, carbon has an atomic number of 4, and opposites attract (referring to the positivity of the nucleus and the negativity of the shared electrons), the oxygen atoms will have a slightly negative charge (-) and the oxygen will have a slightly positive charge (+ ). Therefore, the slightly negative oxygen atoms repel creating that linear shape.

Which statements describe the law of conservation of charge? Check all that apply.
AlekseyPX
The statements in accordance with the law of conservation of charge are:
A. The total charge of the reactants and products must be equal
B. The net charge of an isolated system remains constant

Both of these statements follow the law of conservation of charge which states that charge may neither be created nor destroyed, due to which the total charge in an isolated system (one in which charge can not move in or out of) remains constant.
