The correct answer is (a) Solar Energy

The difference in temperature between the equator and pole of the earth results in formation of wind patterns. The difference in absorption of solar energy leads to buoyancy forces which results in rotation of earth. This rotation of earth causes the wind flow. Hence, the solar energy causes wind to flow which ultimately serves as a source of mechanical energy in wind.

Which statement directly describes the cells produced by meiosis
kogti [31]

Answer:

The statement '<em>the genetic material of the original cell is divided among the new cells</em>' describes how cells are produced in meiosis process.

<u>Explanation: </u>

<em>The meiosis cell division is to reduces the number of 'chromosomes' in the parent cell by its half portion and also they produce four gamete cells.</em> In this process they required to produce 'eggs and sperm' cells for the sexual reproduction .It is the main aim to make a daughter cells with same half so many 'chromosomes' as the starting cell.
