Answer:
1. 80 chromosomes are found in each of the daughter cells. 2. Two daughter cells are produced. 3. The daughter cells are identical to each other.
Explanation:
Mitosis is simply a process of cell division whereby two daughter cells that are genetically identical are produced from a single parent cell. A cell having 80 chromosomes would undergo Mitosis through these various stages:
Interphase: This can be referred to as the rest phase between cell division when mature enough for reproduction. This is a preparatory stage where DNA is duplicated and ready for the division of chromosomes
Prophase: This stage marks the beginning mitosis of the cell with 80 chromosomes. The chromatin threads start a coiling process in which the chromosomes become condensed to enable easy distribution to daughter cells without tangling.
Prometaphase: This phase commences toward the end of the prophase, where the nuclear envelop breaks down. The chromosomes move toward to the center of the cell.
Metaphase: At this stage, the duplicated chromosomes line up on the mid plane or equator of the cell. During this stage, each chromatid is condensed completely and appears thick and distinct.
Anaphase: At this stage, the chromosomes move toward the poles as each replicated copies of the DNA of the cell ends up on either side of the cell. What we would have here at this stage is an entirely two new sister chromatid having 80 chromosomes. Cytokinesis begins towards the end of this stage as the parent cell cytoplasm divides which also continues at telophase.
Telophase: This is the final phase of Mitosis where two separate nuclei are formed and Cytokinesis takes place to complete the division of the cell to form two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes. These cells are genetically identical to the original parent cell.

<u>Answer:</u>
Carbon is found in hydrosphere in the form of dissolved carbon in ocean and sea water during the gas exchange process.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Carbon cycle is the process of transformation of carbon in different forms. From atmosphere, the carbon gets into hydrosphere during the gas exchange processes.
- During this gas exchange process, the carbon is dissolved in the ocean water which is later utilized by marine plants to conduct photosynthesis.
- There is a continuous transformation of carbon from lands, plants to atmosphere and from atmosphere to hydrosphere.
Answer:
c. CNS
Explanation:
The Central Nervous System (CNS) is responsible for receiving and transmitting information throughout the body. We can define it with the command center that coordinates the activities of the body. It consists of the brain and spinal cord, which are protected by the skull and spine respectively.
Both structures are reinforced by three connective blades, called meninges. They are: dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater. Between the last two there is a fluid that is responsible for the nutrition of the CNS and the minimization of possible trauma caused by mechanical shocks.
To make ATP, cells must join together ADP & a phosphate using energy from food. A phosphate is removed from an ATP molecule in order to provide energy for the cell. Thus, the ATP molecule turns into an ADP molecule. We eat food which gives us energy to add another phosphate group to the ADP molecule, turning it into an ATP molecule. The cycle then begins again.
