The result of mitosis is that the daughter cells end up with the same number of chromosomes that the parent cell had. Another wa

y to maintain the number of chromosomes would be to carry out cell division first and then duplicate the chromosomes in each daughter cell. Do you think this would be an equally good way of organizing the cell cycle? Why do you suppose that evolution has not led to this alternative?

Answer:

No, it will not be good way of organizing the cell cycle, as cell division would occur first and duplicate the chromosomes later, it would lead to unequal distribution of chromosomes in the offspring.

E.g. let the parent cell has chromosomes A, B, C, D so when the cell will divide the chromosomes will be divided in two sets as: (A, B) and (C, D), the daughter cells will have one of these sets each. Later it will be duplicated then the result will be (A, A, B, B) and (C, C, D, D). But ideally it should be A, B, C, D, as this had not happened in the above case so the offspring or daughter cells would have half of the genetic code missing hence they could not survive in nature. That's why natural evolution had not led to this alternative.

Punnet squares are a useful tool for predicting what the offspring will look like when mating plants or animals. Reginald Crundall Punnett, a mathematician, came up with these in 1905, long after Mendel's experiments. Let's take a look at how Punnet squares work using the yellow and green peas example from im not sure about the tree by three thing but maybe this will help :)

How can a calendar year help us to understand the magnitude of geologic time
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The civil year allows us to have an idea of how long our planet has existed.

Explanation:

Calendar year is the 12-month period that corresponds to 365 days of the year, counting from 1 January to 31 December. Geological time, in turn, refers to the didactic organization of the evolution of planet Earth and the forms of life that inhabit or inhabited it. It is an instrument used by Earth's geologists and scientists to analyze and chronologically categorize (through the concept of a civil year) the natural evolution of the world in which we live, in order to better understand its past.

The civil year allows geological time to expose the number of years and days that planet Earth (and its forms of life) are in existence.
