Answer:

Cells of skin, for instance, have highest mitotic index.

Explanation:

Many cells are capable of dividing rapidly. <u>For example</u>, in plants, the cells near the root tip in the apical meristem divide rapidly to push through the soil because the root cap detects the gravity and direct rapid division and growth of cells near the tip.

If we take muscle, skin, kidney, and lung as examples that are given in real question, <u>skin cells have the highest mitotic index because they need to get replaced most frequently</u>.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Each biome has a unique set of environmental conditions and plants and animals that have adapted to those conditions. The major land biomes have names like tropical rainforest, grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga (also called coniferous or boreal forest), and tundra.

Explanation:

A biome is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and nonliving things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example, an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.
