Meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each. In meiosis homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that are not genetically identical. In mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each other.

5 similarities.
1. they both involve division of a cell. 
2. the processes of division are the same. (anaphase, metaphase, etc.) 
3. replication of chromosomes occurs before division. 
4. same number of chromosomes at first divisions 
5. two sets of chromosomes for both are enclosed by the nuclear envelope. 

5 differences. 
1. resulting number of chromosomes are different 
2. homologous chromosomes pair up before division for meiosis. 
3. mitosis occurs for somatic (body) cells and meiosis occurs for gametes. 
4. meiosis is twice the division of mitosis. 
5. overlapping of chromosome pairs occurs only in meiosis

Answer: Option A - Gene A and C are potential oncogenes

Explanation:

Oncogenes are genes that contribute to the conversion of a normal cell into a cancerous cell when mutated or expressed at high levels.

From the information provided:

Gene A S24F, N465T R33T T345S, G366R P367E, P368Y and

Gene C S24F, I322E C255I, E344D S34E, P367E

In the US, water pollution is one of the most serious ecological problems, and sedimentation by filled with dirt, slit caused by development sites or construction sites. It is caused in the name of developing cities and states for new homes and other construction that is nothing but careless development that is causing water pollution in these areas including the Virginia.

The excessive silt has covered the spawning beds of fish causes spawning of the habitat. The dirt and slit and sediments cause inhibiting light to aquatic plants that result in less oxygen and food for aqautic life.
