A. Mitosis is the correct answer.

DNA replication occurs in the two major types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is the splitting of a normal cell into two daughter cells and involves complete replication of the cells DNA to produce two identical copies. Meiosis is a specialised and more complex two-stage form of cellular division related to sex cells and involves DNA replication followed by an exchange of DNA material within/between the chromosomes to mix genes from both parents and produce daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Animal sperms and eggs are examples of cells produced by meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes as normal cells. When combined during fertilization the egg and sperm produce a cell with the full compliment of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis is a part of the cellular life cycle that is related specifically to the division of the cytoplasm (basically the "soup" of material inside the cell). It is part of the cellular division process but not specifically related to nuclear division (i.e. DNA replication).

Transcription relates to the production of RNA from DNA which is then used for protein synthesis. DNA is not replicated during the transcription process, rather, this is a separate process critical for the production of proteins by the cell.

Explain how biodiversity affects ecosystem services.

Kipish [7]

<h2>ecosystem services provided by biodiversity, such as nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, pest regulation and pollination, sustain agricultural productivity. Climate change and other stresses have the potential to make major impacts on key functions, such as pollination and pest regulation services.</h2><h2 />

Answer:

forest ecosystem is whereby the organism live together and interact with each other and their environment. The biodiversity in this ecosystem is reducing due to the following factors:

1. deforestation: if most of the trees in the forest are been cut down without replacement it will affect the animal living there. especially herbivores, they feed on this plant and use it as a hideout.

2. bush burning: if the bush is burnt it may lead the animals to ran away for there safety and some may die of hunger, and some trees and plants may also become weak and die therefore reducing food for other animals.

3. Climate change: Climate change is one of the reasons. As deforestation may lead to climate change and many other factors, Without transpiration and evaporation cloud won't be form and there will be no rain which may lead to draught and finally animal will die and others will migrate.

possible solution to this

1. Avoid deforestation, and bush and plant more trees.

2. the government can also make laws concerning deforestation, bush burning, burning of fosil fuels and tires to avoid climate change.
