An accurate summary of meiosis is D. A CELL DIVIDES INTO GAMETES.

Meiosis is a special type of cell division wherein only have of the DNA copies are made. Meiosis divides cells two times. First cell division is Meiosis I and second cell division is Meiosis II.

In Meiosis I, homologous chromosome pairs are segregated into two new daughter cells. In Meiosis II, the two new daughter cells produced in Meiosis I are again divided producing four daughter cells.

These four daughter cells become gametes when they mature. Some types of gametes are sperm, ova, pollen, or spores. They contribute to sexual production when facilitated together with fertilization.

How is The environment on Mars different from that of Earth’s?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Mars is about half the size of Earth by diameter and has a much thinner atmosphere, with an atmospheric volume less than 1% of Earth's. The atmosphere of Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth's, and it is 95 percent carbon dioxide.
The atmospheric composition is also significantly different: primarily carbon dioxide-based, while Earth's is rich in nitrogen and oxygen.
Because of the differences in atmospheric densities and distances from the sun, the temperature within the atmosphere are also wildly different. Earth generally ranges from 14 degrees Celsius to 70.0 degrees, whereas Mars ranges from -146 degrees C to -140 degrees C.
Both planets have a silicate mantle surrounding their cores and a surface crust of solid material.
Earth and Mars’ both have terrains that varies considerably from place to place.
