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.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The aerotaxis movement experiment performed by the Theodor W. Engelmann played an important role in understanding the photosynthesis.

The experiment was performed on the <em>Spirogyra </em>filamentous algae which were exposed to a different wavelength of light.

The other aerobic bacteria present in the test tubes started moving and accumulated near the two regions of the <em>Spirogyra</em> where they were exposed to the blue and red light of the VIBGYOR.

The region receiving red and blue light produced more oxygen through photosynthesis which indicated that these two wavelengths of the light are more active for photosynthesis than any other wavelengths.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Mushrooms and plants all need energy to grow. But the sources of their energy differs.

Explanation:

Sun is the ultimate source of energy for any living organisms to grow and make their food. While plants takes energy from the sun directly and make their food, while the mushrooms which is not a plant does not take energy from the sun directly.

Mushrooms utilizes the energies which is collected by the different organism which collects their energy from the sun such as organisms like the bacteria and plants. Mushrooms grow well in darkness as darkness helps to retain moisture. Mushrooms does not have chlorophyll to make food.

Plants have chlorophyll. And they direct absorb energy from the sun light to make their own food.
