Hi
The main difference is that Mitosis is used by single-celled organisms to reproduce; it is also used for the organic growth of tissues, fibers, and membranes. And, Meiosis is useful for sexual reproduction of organisms; The male and female sex cells, e.g. the spermatozoa and egg, fuse to create a new, singular biological organism.

I hope it helps you.

Which organisms are most likely to survive in a population in which disruptive selection is occurring? organisms that have avera

liraira [26]

Answer:

The correct answer is organisms that have extreme traits.

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is a specific type of natural selection that describes changes in population genetics. In disruptive selection, both extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values. As a result, the population is divided into two distinct groups and the variance of the trait increases.

Which are factors of rock types that affect the rate of weathering? Select three options

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Incomplete

"Check all that apply. porosity, moisture, temperature, mineral, softness, or ease of dissolving"

From the options, the three answers are mineral composition, ease of dissolving and p

Explanation:

Weathering is the phenomenon in which surface of rocks are broken down and leaches or washed away.

The factors that affect the rock type and rate of weathering of said rock include:

Composition: this translates to the mineral composition in the rock and how susceptible to chemical weathering reaction
Surface area and porosity: Surface porosity determines how easily the rock can be leached by wind or rain.
Climate: Mechanical weathering due to extreme climate change can cause freezing and thawing of the rocks, thereby enhancing disintegration of the rock. This is determined by the ease of dissolving of the rock.
