<h2>Anterior-posterior orientation</h2>

Explanation:

Flatworms have an anterior-posterior orientation and as a result more coordinated and deliberate movement is established  

  • Flatworms also called Platyhelminthes are a phylum of relatively simple soft-bodied invertebrate animals
  • They are the largest phylum of acoelomates and are found in marine,freshwater and even in some damp terrestrial environments
  • Movement in some flatworms is controlled by longitudinal,circular and oblique layers of muscle
  • Flatworms anterior end helps in moving towards their food while the posterior end ensures that these organisms walk away from irritants

Which process mitosis or meiosis repairs skin following sunburn
Verizon [17]
The answer is mitosis.

Mitosis and meiosis are both 2 different kinds of cell division process. In mitosis, a parent cell will divide and produce 2 daughter cells that are genetically identical to both the other daughter cell and the parent cell. Since this process produces identical cells, it is mostly used in growth, tissue repair etc.

On the other hand, meiosis is the cell division process where a parent cell produces 2 daughter cells, and the two daughter cells produces 4 more daughter cells, and these daughter cells are genetically different to each other, they only have half of the chromosomes than its parent cell. Meiosis is used in producing gametes, so that when 2 gamete fuse together, in fertilization, the zygote can retain the correct amount of chromosome.

Therefore, since skin is not used in reproduction and its chromosomes should be the same as the original skin cell, mitosis is the answer.
