<span>Inertia is defined as the tendency to remain unchanged unless an unequal outside force is acting on it. In physics, it is the property of matter to continue at rest or in motion unless that state is acted or changed by an external force. When the car moves, the person sitting on it has the same velocity with that car. During a collision, there will be an abrupt change in the car’s velocity. The person without a seatbelt will be thrown away from his seat with the same velocity as the car towards the direction at which the car is heading. In this case, that person will be thrown away at the front of the car. This will be a dangerous scenario as he might sustain a fatal injury after the impact.</span>

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The correct answer is cells in the damaged parts divide and produce more cell by undergoing mitosis.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process by which total number of chromosomes of parental cell is distributed equally within the 2 newly formed daughter cells.As a result the each daughter cell has same number of chromosome with respect to that of parental cell.

Mitosis also helps in wound healing by replacing the damaged cells with newly formed cells by cell division.

-Sheep has strong sense of smell that helps the sheep to acquire food.

Explanation:

- The size of the sheep brain is much smaller than humans but sheep has well developed olfactory bulb than humans. The human brain is more circular in shape whereas sheep brain is more extended.

- The well developed olfactory bulb in sheep helps the sheep to find the food. Sheep has strong sense of smell due to large olfactory bulb. Sheep can easily find the location of food located farway from it as the sheep has strong sense of smell.
