Answer:

Coal

Explanation:

Climate change is coal's most serious, long-term, global impact. Chemically, coal is mostly carbon, which, when burned, reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas. When released into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide works like a blanket, warming the earth above normal limits. Let us look at the quantity of carbonoxide coal plant  emits. For example, coal with a carbon content of 78 percent and a heating value of 14,000 Btu per pound emits about 204.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per million Btu when completely burned. Complete combustion of 1 short ton (2,000 pounds) of this coal will generate about 5,720 pounds (2.86 short tons) of carbon dioxide. This is one of the major reason it should Mr stopped.

The following questions refer to the essential steps in Meiosis described below.
juin [17]

Answer:

3. Separation of sister chromatids

Explanation:

Before entering mitosis or meiosis, DNA contained in a cell duplicates and  and each chromosome will have two sister chromatids.

  • In mitosis the sister chromatids separate to produce two daughter cells that have the same information as the original cell before the DNA duplicated.
  • On the other hand, meiosis consists of two cell divisions. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, producing two daughter cells that have half the information the original cell had, but each chromosome still has two sister chromatids. During meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate, and each daughter cell produces two more daughter cells, that now have a single homologous chromosome of the pair, and which has a single chromatid.
