Answer:

Both binary fission and mitosis produce genetically identical daughter cells.

Explanation:

The process in which new cells are made in order to grow, replenish (repair), and reproduce is called cell division . The three main types of cell division are binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis. In prokaryotes like bacteria cell division take place through binary fission, while eukaryotes (e.g., plant and animal cells) uses two types of cell division - mitosis (the process of making new body cells like blood, muscle etc ) and meiosis (reproductive cell division that creates egg and sperm cells).

Binary fission is a simple and rapid process in which a single parent cell divides to form two genetically identical daughter cells. The main function of binary fission is reproduction.

In mitosis, a cell is replicated into exact copies of itself and duplicates all of its contents including the chromosomes and splits to form two identical daughter cells. It is a complex process in which cells pass through different phases called cell cycle during cell division.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which four haploid cells are produced from a diploid parent cell having two copies of each chromosome, where the number of chromosomes in the parent cell is reduced to half by undergoing DNA replication and nuclear division.

Both binary fission and mitosis are types of asexual reproduction in which the DNA is copied and the cytoplasm is divided (cytokinesis) to form two genetically identical daughter cells, which contain an exact copy of the parent cell's DNA.

Explanation:

<h2>It is interesting to note that CO2 is still believed to be the No 1 greenhouse gas instead of water vapour. Many excellent climate scientist (e.g. Richard Lindzen, Roy Spencer, John Christy, etc) have dealt with the issue and shown both in books and research articles that CO2 is a very minor player governing global climate.</h2><h2>So what drives climate?</h2><h2>The answer must obviously be found in the hydrological cycle, where the oceans play a major role together with extraterrestrial process with the Sun having the ultimate role. We know that solar energy (insolation) does not vary sufficiently to explain the climatic excursion our planet has experienced on a short and long term. It is sufficient to consider the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period, not mentioning the past ice ages, to understand that there are many complicated factors to consider before we can explain climate variability.</h2><h2>Solar activity is naturally a major player but this does not mean only total solar insolation (TSI) but also solar magnetic activity. Also the gravitational influence of the entire solar system must be taken in account, not forgetting our own natural satellite, the Moon, influencing at least ocean tides. Very interesting views on climate variability and cosmic activity have been presented by Henrik Svensmark.</h2><h2>A very simplistic example how the water cycle could adjust climate is the following mental construct: The Sun warms the ocean surface increasing evaporation. Increase in water vapour content decreases the density of the air, which thus rises to higher altitudes where eventually adiabatic cooling reaches a level where water vapour starts to condense. The availability of condensation nuclei, possibly enhanced by high energy cosmic radiation especially during low level solar magnetic activity, leads to strong cloud formation. This eventually limits solar warming of the ocean surface and decreases evaporation with less cloud formation. This entire cycle can be compared to a very effective thermostat, by some aptly termed the water thermostat responsible for keeping global temperatures at a suitable level depending on local conditions</h2>

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the structure of the cell membrane and it's function

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The cell membrane folds upon itself easily, which facilitates cellular reproduction by mitosis.

<span>The membrane is a flexible, fluid mosaic and changes shape easily to create holes for substances to move in and out of the cell. </span>

<span>The outer layer of the membrane is hydrophilic, which allows water to flow in and out of the cell easily to eliminate waste. </span>

<span>The proteins that are embedded in the cell membrane act as channels to transport substances in and out of the cell.</span>
