D. it produces male and female sex cells

In meiosis, a cell splits into four cells, also splitting the chromosome count in half from the original cell. This is a critical stage for sexual reproduction in that the cells then match up with other haploid cells produced by meiosis from another parent to create a new organism. These sex cells have both male and female chromosomes and the resulting sex depends on how the cells match up with those of the other parent.

How do chemical weathering processes differ from mechanical weathering processes?
bogdanovich [222]

The answer is; Physical weathering does not change the composition of the rock while chemical weathering does.

Physical weathering only cracks and breaks the rocks into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering causes a reaction between the rock minerals and acidic rain or organic acids from plants forming different minerals or dissolving the rock minerals.

Formulating hypotheses – Propose a hypothesis to account for the data related to the cell life spans of the lining of the esopha
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Hypothesis: If mucus production in the submucosal layer of the esophagus is insufficient, cell longevity is affected, because it interferes with the quality of connective tissue.

Explanation:

In a scientific research the hypothesis is an assumption, a possibility that will justify the purpose of the scientific research and will help in the establishment of all the steps of this research, so that it is possible to determine if the hypothesis is true or false. In other words, we can say that the hypothesis must be formulated as an assumption, before the research that will prove it or not.

An example of a hypothesis about research on the longevity of cells that line the esophagus is: "If mucus production in the submucosal layer of the esophagus is insufficient, cell longevity is affected, because it interferes with the quality of connective tissue."

Blood cells are _____ in shape because they lack a nucleus.
sesenic [268]


Red blood cells are disc shaped. It is thought one factor that allows them to have this shape is because they do not have a nucleus. This tends to increase amount of space inside the cell for hemoglobin.

They have a flexible disc shape which helps increase the surface- to- area volume ratio  which enables oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse across the red blood cell's plasma membrane more readily.

Their disc shape also enables them to squeeze through tiny capillaries that are half their size .
