Mitosis refers to the procedure of cell division, in which a cell goes through a carefully mediated nuclear division, which results in the production of two genetically similar daughter cells. The mitosis comprises five active stages, that is, prophase, premetaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
In a single-celled species like an amoeba, it is the process of mitosis by which the cells reproduce. After undergoing through the five stages of mitosis, it is via the procedure called cytokinesis, the single cell dissociates into two similar cells, thus, completing the reproduction.
During injury, the process of mitosis takes place to substitute the damaged cells. This repair is mainly essential for the blood vessels and skin that safeguards the organs and muscles in the body. Mitosis also assists to substitute the lost blood via a wound.
Thus, if the process of mitosis would not take place, then the organism would remain a single-cell, asexual reproduction would not take place, and the tissues of the body would not be able to repair themselves.
Answer: The literal reason would be because our ancestors did. The ancestors of all modern mammals had five digits on each limb up to 360 million years ago.
Explanation:
Answer: Allopatric Speciation
Explanation:
Allopatric speciation occurs when new distinct species are formed due to the separation of a specie into two separate groups. These two groups are kept away from each other.
In allopatric speciation there is no exchange of genes between the two separate groups.
Allopatric speciation can also be known as geographical speciation.
The appropriate answer is D. a river floods over its channel banks and deposits sediment on the wide valley bottom.
Flood plains usually develop along the lower course of the river. The lower course has a gentle gradient and so the flow of water is not fast and therefore the bed load of the river gets deposited. Rivers carry materials such as boulders, pebbles, gravel, sand, silt and clay. The larger size materials will get deposited upstream while the finer material will travel to the lower course.
The glacier melt each year increases the volume of the river so it will overflow its banks and deposit materials in layers on the flood plains. Materials on the flood plain are usually fine such as sand and silt.
