Explanation:

An accompanying diagram is need to answer this question. Mechanical or physical weathering involves the break up of rock into smaller pieces. Mechanical weathering does not change the chemical composition....it is just broken down into smaller pieces. In frost wedging the constant freezing and thawing will break rocks into smaller pieces. This occurs in temperate mountainous regions. Salt wedging occurs at coastal areas where ocean water deposits the salt in the rocks. Peeling is also known as exfoliation and this occurs in desert regions rocks constantly contract and expand as the temperature drastically changes. Biological weathering is caused by plant roots or burrowing animals. Their actions cause rocks to be broken into smaller pieces.

The diagram that does not demonstrate any of these activities is not likely to be mechanical weathering.

<h3>What is lobe-fins?</h3>

The taxon Sarcopterygii, also known as Crossopterygii, is made up of bony fishes noted for having lobe-finned fishes as its members.

One oak tree cell with 14 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many cells will result from this process,???
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Four (4) cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division in which four daughter cells that are genetically different is produced. The daughter cells are gametes that have undergone a reduction in their chromosome number (by half).

For example, one cell of an oak tree with 14 chromosomes is said to undergo meiosis. This means that, based on the explanation of meiosis above, the oak cell will give rise to four (4) daughter cells containing 7 chromosomes each.

Why does DNA replication have such accuracy ?
USPshnik [31]
Because human DNA is so very long (with up to 80 million base pairs in a chromosome) it unzips at multiple places along its length so that the replication process is going on simultaneously and more accurately.
