The process is mitosis.
It is a kind of cell division where all the daughter cells are genetically identical to its parents cell, same with 2 sets of chromosomes.
The process must be mitosis because all cells in your body (except for gametes) has the same amount of chromosomes, which is 46 for humans.
Mitosis also ensure that you are still yourself when you're growing up, not having for example blue eyes in 5 and brown in 10 years old. All the alleles are identical.

Explain why the brakes of a car get much hotter than the brakes of a bicycle?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Car brakes produces more energy then the bicycle because the cars wheels produces a much bigger force that makes the car go and to stop that force the car uses greater amount of energy that transfers to heat  but in a bicycle the wheels do not turn that fast so when you press the break there is less energy that transfer to heat.

Why does a lone pair of electrons occupy more space around a central atom than a bonding pair of electrons?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The lone pair of electrons occupy more space because the electrostatic force becomes weaker.

Explanation:

When there is a bond pair of electrons in the 2 positively charged the atomic nuclei draw the electron density towards them, thereby reducing the bond diameter.

In the case of the lone pair, only 1 nucleus is present, and the enticing electrostatic force becomes weaker and the intensity of the electrons will be increases. Therefore, the lone pair occupies more space than the pair of bonds.

A scientist compares two samples of white powder. One powder was present at the beginning of an experiment. The other powder was
Jet001 [13]
Density of powder 1 = 0.5 g / 45 cm^3 = 1/90 g/cm^3
Density of powder 2 = 1.3 g / 65 cm^3 = 1/50 g/cm^3

Therefore the densities of the two powders are different, hence chemical reaction has occurred.

(note: none of the other choices make sense.  In fact, a different density does not necessarily indicate a chemical change, see paragraph below).

Density of powders are not definitive unless they are each of the same size and texture.  For example, granular sugar, rock sugar, and icing sugar all have different densities.  I would conclude that this experiment does not lend to a reliable answer.
