Answer:

Cells divide to reproduce. There are two primary methods used, one for somatic cells, which compose the organism’s body, and one for reproductive cells, or gametes.

Scientists call the process of somatic cell division mitosis. Mitosis has six distinct steps in which the cell organizes and copies the DNA in the nucleus. Once copied, each new cell has its own copy of the DNA. The six steps of mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. Some authorities consider the non-dividing portion of the cell’s lifecycle, known as interphase, to be one of seven steps involved in mitosis; however, interphase cells are not actively dividing.

Sex cells, such as sperm or eggs, must divide differently. Sex cells only possess one-half of the DNA that makes up a new animal. That way, when they combine, the resulting organism gets half of its DNA from its mother and half from its father. Because sex cells only want half of the DNA in each cell, they go through a different division process called meiosis. In meiosis, the cells split a second time, which yields four daughter cells rather than two as with mitosis; however, this provides each daughter cell with 23 chromosomes in contrast to the 46 chromosomes in somatic cells.

What would be the minimum energy Emin required to excite a hydrogen atom from its lowest energy level
Wewaii [24]

The minimum energy required to excite a hydrogen atom from its lowest energy level is 10.2 eV.

<h3>What is excitation?</h3>

The term excitation has to do with the promotion of an electron from a lower to a higher energy level.

In this case, we are dealing with the hydrogen atom having only one electron. Thus, the minimum energy required to excite a hydrogen atom from its lowest energy level is 10.2 eV.

Nucleotide bases bonded to a sugar phosphate backbone make up _____.
Alchen [17]
Nucleotide bases bonded to a sugar phosphate backbone make up nucleic acids such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (<span>ribonucleic acid)</span>. Nucleotides have three major parts: sugars, phosphates, and a nitrogenous base. DNA uses four nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. RNA uses the same bases except for Thymine, which is replaced by Uracil.

Some nonliving things that is found in earths environment use an example of how you use each thing
Gnoma [55]
Rocks, rocks can be used for many things depending on which rock you are talking about some rocks are used for construction of cement mixtures. Granite and marble are used for counter tops and desks depending on what district you go to school in and how funded the schools are there. pumice is a rock found in waters around volcanoes and is used to smooth organic surfaces such as feet. miscellaneous rocks are also used to prevent erosion. non living things can also include carbon which is the bases of life itself. Carbon is an organic element which is used in the synthesis medicines such as aspirin and poisons such as dichloromethane which is not used to poison others but is toxic to humans, it is mainly used for different isolation of unknown substances. Depending on what R grouping is attached to the carbon can be the deciding factor of how it can be used and how it can react with the environment. Elements like helium can be used in gas chromatograms and put into balloons
