Hello!

Meiosis occurs in humans, animals, plants and fungi, and its a sexual type of reproduction. The daughter cells are different, cause the chromosomes are mixed. Mitosis is a asexual type of reproduction and the daughter cells are identical.

Answer:

Both mitosis and meiosis are the types of cell division but they show contrasting features as :

1. Mitosis division is divided into one phase whereas meiosis has two phases-meiosis I and II.

2. Each phase of mitosis is divided into -prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis while meiosis into ten stages- Prophase I,II, metaphase I,II, anaphse I,II,  telophase I, II and cytokinesis I,II.

3. Mitosis produces two daughter cells while meiosis produces four daughter cells.

4. Mitosis produces cells with same genetic material while meiosis produces cells with variations in genetic material.

5. Mitotic maintains its ploidy whereas meiosis produces cells with half the number of chromosomes.

6. Mitosis is involved in the process responsible for growth and repair while meiosis produces gametes.

7. Mitosis is asexual type of reproduction while meiosis is involved in sexual mode of reproduction.

Match the following terms and definitions. 1. an electrical nerve impulse sent by nerve fibers to the central nervous system for
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1. an electrical nerve impulse sent by nerve fibers to the central nervous system for interpretation. <u>Action potential. </u>

2. neurons that detect chemicals such as those found in food. <u>Chemoreceptors. </u>

3. type of eyes many arthropods have; eyes that protrude outward and consist of many lenses. <u>Compound eyes. </u>

4. the structure that gives the response to an environmental change.<u> Effector</u>

5. neurons that detect electrical fields. <u>Electroreceptors. </u>

6. secretion of hormones into the blood stream to affect distant processes. <u>Endocrine.</u>

Explanation:  

An action potential is a change in the internal charge of a cell due to depolarization. These changes allow the transmission of a message from any part of the body to the central nervous system. The central nervous system will interpret the message and will give a response.

There are different types of receptors in our bodies. Chemoreceptors are the ones that detect chemicals and produce an action potential or a neurotransmitter. These receptors respond to chemicals. Another type of receptor is the electroreceptors. They detect electrical fields and are only on the skin of aquatic animals.

Compound eyes have a large number of ommatidia. As a result, the anthropods with this type of eyes have a large view angle. In other words, every ommatidium sees an image, and the final product is a combination of all of them.

The effector is the structure that gives an answer once an affector has sent the message to the nervous system that there was a change in the environment.

There are different kinds of secretions, autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine. In the endocrine secretion, the gland secrets hormones into the bloodstream so that they can travel long distances up to their target cell, which is far from the gland.

What criteria would you use to assess the reproductive success of a plant?
alexira [117]
Reproductive success is defined as the passing of genes onto the next generation in a way that they too can pass on those genes. This is not solely the number of offspring produced by an individual, but also, as Ronald Fisher outlined in 1915, the probable reproductive success of those offspring, making mate choice (a form of sexual selection) an important factor in this success,[1] making biological fitness a key element in the theories of natural selection and evolution.
