Biology
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]3 years ago
3 0

A solstice is a point during the Earth's orbit around the sun while during an equinox, the sun is at its nearest point from the Equator. Another difference is that a solstice takes place on June 21 and December 22, while an equinox takes place on March 20 and September 22. One more difference is that during the summer solstice, the days are longer and in winter solstice, the nights are longer. For an equinox, the duration of day and night are both equal.

Hope it helps :)

Which renewable resource is not safe for the environment and why?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: Biomass

Biomass produces gas or many sorts of waste products which are mostly used in burning and cooking. It is plant or animal material used as fuel to produce electricity or heat. Examples are wood, energy crops, and waste from forests, yards, or farms.

But the reason why it can be harmful is because biomass can produce gases like methane. Methane is a  greenhouse gas which can harm the environment and reduce the ozone layer that stops harmful UV light from reaching the earth atmosphere.

Identify the phases of Meiosis II described below.
Annette [7]

1. The lining up of chromosomes by the spindle fibers takes place at metaphase II phase. It is the second stage of meiosis II, the spindle draws the chromosomes towards the metaphase plate.  

2. The formation of the nuclear envelope around each set of DNA takes place in telophase II. Along with the formation of the nuclear envelope, the process of cytokinesis also takes place in telophase II, producing four daughter cells, each comprising a haploid set of chromosomes.  

3. The sister chromatids are pulled apart in anaphase II stage. In this phase, the sister chromatids are migrated towards the opposite poles of the cell with the help of protein fibers.  

4. The centromeres are moved towards the poles of the cell at prophase II stage.

There is less at the top of the food chain because it has ate things from possibly all areas of the food chain and each level is consuming from lower parts of the chain than it. So with the entire food chain eating on what the top eats there is gonna be less for the top
