12 times breathe give 240 ml of pure O_{2}. Each breathe gives 20 ml of O_{2}.

Let us consider, volume of air per breathe= x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled air= \frac{20}{100}x ml and Pure O_{2} from exhaled air= \frac{16}{100}x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled and exhaled air= 20 ml

So, \frac{20}{100}x + \frac{16}{100}x = 20

Therefore, x = 55.5 ml

So, volume of air per breath= 55.5 ml.

Otrada [13]

Answer: With few exceptions, the mitotic process ensures that this is the case. Therefore, mitosis ensures that each successive cellular generation has the same genetic composition as the previous generation, as well as an identical chromosome set.

Which two properties are used to define matter?
Fantom [35]
The two properties which are used to define matter are that it has mass and it takes up space. The other properties do not necessarily apply to each matter. Such some matter can be a conductor of heat (such as metal) and some not (such as non metals). Likewise, some matter can be buoyant and float on liquid of density more than it but others would not on the liquids of density less than it. In-fact not all the matters are conductors of energy (such as heat, sound, electricity) or at-least a very poor conductor of energy and tend to find application as insulating agents (non conductors). So the only thing which is necessarily true is that the matter would definitely have mass in even their minutest form as atom and would take up some space.
