Answer:

If mitosis would not take place, the life of the organism would become short.

This is because mitosis ( a process of cell division where parent cell forms two identical daughter cells) helps in the the renewal of damaged/ dead cells.

For instance, in case of skin epidermis ( outer layer of skin), the cells that become dead, keep on renewing ( as they shed/ fall off on continuous basis) with the help of mitosis.

Thus, if no mitosis would occur, there would be no renewal of the dead cells and the life will be shorten.

Which statement is true about the layers of the Earth? * 1 as temperature and pressure increases, density increases 2 As tempera
nignag [31]

Answer:

1. As temperature and pressure increases, density increases

Explanation:

The earth is composed of three main layers: Crust, Mantle and Core. The density or mass per unit volume of the earth's layers increases as one moves from the surface towards the interior of the earth known as the core. Also, there is an increase in pressure and temperature as depth increases. There are three main sources of heat in the earth's core: (1) conserved heat from when the planet formed and coalesced, (2) heat due to friction caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet, and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.

The earth's core is composed almost entirely of the metals, iron and nickel. The core has an inner solid layer and a molten outer core. Iron and nickel are both very dense metals, so the core of the earth is very dense and the density increases with depth with the inner core being the most dense layer of the earth.
