What if humans could reproduce through mitosis instead of using meiosis? What would children look like if parents reproduced usi

ng mitosis? Would there be any pitfalls in a population of humans if mitosis were the primary method for reproduction?

<u>Answer:</u>

Things would be a lot different. Children would be identical to their parents. Mitosis copies a cell and its DNA so the child's DNA would be identical to the parents and they would look exactly alike. It would be like a lot of twins walking around. That is assuming there are no mutations in the mitosis process. I feel like there would be a lot of pitfalls in a population of humans if mitosis were the primary method of reproduction. Everyone will be like a copy of someone else and there will be no room for differences. This would cause a lot of problems with the population because it would be so much different than it is now. Everyone would asexually reproduce and there would be less sexual reproduction. This would probably lead to many problems that I can't even think of.

Sorry I can't explain it better because i'm only in 8'th grade.

In this food chain, energy moves from one living thing to another. What source of energy starts this food chain?

Answer:

How do you work out energy transfer in a food chain?

Within the food chain energy can be passed and transferred from one organism to another. Whilst mammals get their energy sources from food – whether this be eating other animals or eating vegetation; plants get their energy from photosynthesis. Energy is passed between organisms through the food chain.

For each of the three items listed below, write a paragraph explaining how it provides evidence for evolution.
GREYUIT [131]
Homologous structures are organisms which are grouped according to phylogeny, reveal that closely related organisms have more similar structures for example whales were once classified as a fish because they live in the water and they have flippers. Flippers are homologous to human arms and legs and they are therefore closely related to human beings.

Similar embryological development. Embryos of various vertebrates all look similar, including features. For example, tails which are not seen in the maturity suggests that all organisms evolved from a common ancestor, still, we express and share genes that are shared and belie ancestry.

Shared biochemical molecules such as DNA and ATP structure of molecules reflect descent with modification. The evidence of universal common ancestor is being reflected in the universality of DNA as a genetic material.
The genetic code in the machinery of DNA expression and replication. The relatedness within groups of organisms is reflected in the similarity in their DNA sequences. This is the exact pattern to be expected from diversification and descent from a common ancestor.

Which of the following best explains how a biotic factor can control the population of a species in an ecosystem? A sudden drop
Sergio [31]

The bats explain how biotic factors can control the population of a species in an ecosystem is competition between two species may force one of them to migrate to survive.

The correct option is (B).

<h3>What is the competition?</h3>

Competition is an interaction between two species in order to utilize one resource that is limited.

Competition is one of the factors of natural selection also.

It also helps to maintain population by migration of species due to shortage of resources.

Thus, the correct option is (B).
