Nelly was reading about ecological pesticides. She found a website that said that skeletons of some organisms settle as sediment
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Diatoms

Explanation:

Diatoms are a photosynthetic eukaryotic phytoplankton that virtually found in all waterways, fresh waters and  oceans, and also in most soils on earth. Diatoms play a very important role in the global carbon cycle. Diatoms are single-celled algae that has a characteristics cell wall that is made up of transparent opaline silicia that are elegantly sculpted.

When diatoms die, their shell or skeleton that is composed of silica, do not decay, but settle at the bottom of oceans as sediments to form what is often referred to as diatomaceous earth. It is this diatomaceous earth deposit that is then converted to diatomite powder, which is used as pesticides against insects such as ants, cockroaches, bedbugs and some other pests.

Summarize the steps of sexual reproduction and explain how it increases genetic diversity
schepotkina [342]
Sexual reproduction occurs through the stages of meiosis. Meiosis itself has two different rounds.

In the first round, the cell grows, copies its chromosomes, and readies itself for division (Interphase). Then, the chromosomes themselves condense and match up perfectly with a partner (specifically called a homologue partner) in Prophase I. These partners trade parts in what is called crossing over. This increases genetic diversity because it creates new combinations of chromosomes with unique alleles. After Prophase I, the chromosomes prepare for splitting (Metaphase I), and the homologues are then separated and moved to different sides of the cell (Anaphase I). Lastly, the chromosomes successfully arrive at the opposite ends, forming two daughter cells (Telophase I and Cytokinesis). This ends the first round of meiosis.

In the second round, the cell skips Interphase, but goes through the rest of the phases, resulting in 4 cells.
