At a basic level mitosis and meiosis are similar processes. However, they have very different outcomes. Which of the following s
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: C. Homologous chromosomes are separated in meiosis but not in mitosis.

Explanation: There are two main types of division that take place in eukaryotic cells, mitosis, and meiosis. Mitosis is the type of division that is used for growth, repair, and replacement of tissues. Therefore it is not necessary that the cells have  different chromosome numbers or are varied genetically in the daughter cells in the case of mitosis.

Meiosis is the division that takes place to form the gametes for sexual reproduction. It is important in the first stages of meiosis I, to introduce variation and to halve the chromosome number.

Chromosomes numbers are halved (from 46 to 23) during meiosis I because the gametes (sperm and egg) come together and fuse during fertilization to form a zygote. When this fusion occurs (23 from the zygote and 23 from the egg), the chromosome number needs to be returned to that of the parent cell (46).

<h2>Genetic variation is introduced during synapsis which only occurs in meiosis, not mitosis. Homologs exchange genetic information during crossing over of synapsis. Entire chromosomes also separate during meiosis I. </h2>

At the end of meiosis, four genetically unique cells are  produced with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (23 cromosomes) . After the process of mitosis is completed, two cells genetically identical to each pther are produced and have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell (46 cromosomes).

Genetic variation is actually important because of changing environmental conditions.

What occurred during the Cambrian explosion? How is this significant in terms of common ancestry?
tia_tia [17]
The Cambrian Period marks an important point in the history of life on Earth; it is the time when most of the major groups of animals first appear in the fossil record. This event is sometimes called the "Cambrian Explosion," because of the relatively short time over which this diversity of forms appears

Which part of an individual villus forms part of the lymphatic system and absorbs fats from the lumen of the small intestine?
Lostsunrise [7]
I believe the answer is the lacteals. 
Lacteals are structures that are in the middle of each villi; they are lymphatic capillaries that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestines. Triglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids and monoglycerides. The lacteals merge to form larger lymphatic vessels that transport chyle to the thoracic duct where it is emptied into the blood stream at the subclavian vein.
