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.

Describe how greenhouse gases contribute to climate change
vladimir1956 [14]
Greenhouse gases arise naturally, and are part of the make-up of our atmosphere. Earths conditions are just right to allow life, including us, to flourish. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is the naturally-arising greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet at a friendly 15 °C (59 °F) on average. But in the last century or so, humans have been interfering with the energy balance of the planet, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels that give off additional carbon dioxide into the air. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near the surface of the Earth, causing temperatures to rise.

Fats are broken down into saturated fats and unsaturated fats. which of these explains the difference between saturated and unsa
hoa [83]
In terms of chemistry, saturated fats contain the maximum number or greatest amount of Hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to both the end and internal or middle carbons. Thus, there are no carbon to carbon double and or single bonds present.

Unsaturated fats though do have at least a minimum of 1 carbon to carbon double and or triple bond for the inverse or opposite explanation of what was mentioned, that it does not have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms within the internal and or external carbon atoms in the structure of the organic compound.

Anatomy and
Masja [62]

Answer:

lateral; inferior

Explanation:

In anatomical terms:

  • Superior is towards the head, and <u>inferior </u>is towards the feet.
  • Medial is towards the centre of the body (belly button) whereas <u>lateral </u>is towards the outside of the body (towards the hip bones and arms, for example)
  • Posterior is towards the back (spine), whereas anterior is towards the front (belly)

Therefore, the fingers are lateral (to the side) and inferior (lower) than the heart
