This is what is commonly know as 'peat'.  Peat is found in peatlands, bogs, mires and moors, and is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. The decay is slowed down by a lack of oxygen due to waterlogged conditions. These areas are very important carbon sinks as the CO2 released by the decaying matter is trapped within the peat. It requires thousands of years for peatland to develop. Peatlands are very important as they provide a record of past vegetation and climate within the preserved plant remains.

How are the 3 stages of cell division similar to how new animals are created?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Cell divison is defined as the process in which a parent cell split into two or more daughter cells. There are three stages of cell division that includes interphase, mitosis/meiosis and cytokinesis.

In the interphase the proteins, enzymes and cell organelles are formed and at the end of this phase single strand chromosome becomes a double strand carrying genes.

In the meiosis (in sexual reproduction) or mitosis (asexual reproduction) phase, divison of nucleus takes place. Meiosis gives rise to geneticaly different cells due to crossing over while mitosis leads to  identical cells .

Cytokinesis occurs cocurrently after meiosis or mitosis in which cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells each with identical chromatin.

Creation of new animals are also undergo these 3 stages of cell division that is interphase, meiosis (eukaryotes)/mitosis (prokaryotes) and cytokinesis. Majority of animals (eukaryotes) undergo meiosis phase because their mode of reproduction sexual and have genetic variation due to crossing over of chromosomes and produces 4 daughter cells at the end cell division.

Hence, the 3 stages of cell division is similar to craetion of new animals.
