Even though scorpions are related to spiders, there are many differences between the two organisms. One difference is that scorp
ion young do not hatch from eggs as spiders do. Scorpions are born live, two at a time, and they immediately crawl onto the mother's back for protection and care. They remain there for 2 weeks as they grow big enough to take care of themselves. As baby scorpions grow larger, which process occurs in their body (somatic) cells?
a. Mitosis separates one cell into four cells.
b. Meiosis produces all of the new body cells.
c. Meiosis splits the chromosome numbers by four.
d. Mitosis makes copies of the cell nuclei.
The correct answer would be d. Mitosis makes copies of the cell nuclei.
Mitosis is a cell division in which one cell separates to form two daughter cells, each having an identical genome as of the parent cell.
Before mitosis, the cell replicates its DNA or genetic material, so that equal amount of genetic material can be distributed into the two daughter cells.
By the end of mitosis, two nuclei are formed in a cell which is followed by cytokinesis. Cytokinesis results in the formation of two daughter cells.
These cells then grow in size and divide again which helps in the growth and repair of tissues in multi-cellular organisms.
There are four major classes of biological macromolecules.1.)carbohydrates 2.)lipids 3.)proteins 4.)nuclic acids .each is an important cell component a performs a wide array of functions.
