Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Mitosis has to do with the division of somatic or vegetative cells. Diploid parent cells divide to give rise to two diploid daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. Mitotic process is important for for wound healing, growth and development of living organisms.

On the other hand, meiosis is concerned with the division of sex cells. Diploid parent cells divide t give rise to four haploid daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cells as a result of crossing over and recombination. Meiotic process is important in sexually reproducing organisms. It ensures that the ploidy level of organisms are kept constant from one generation to the other.

In mitosis, the first stage is prophase. The nucleolus disappears and the two centrosomes begin to form the mitotic spindle. The spindle xtends between two opposite poles f the cell. Next is the metaphase. The centromeres of the chromatid pairs align at the center of the miotic spindle. Then anaphase, the centromeres will split that separates the chromatid pair. They are now called chromosomes. The last phase is the telophase. The chromosomes will then form a thread-like chromatin and for ache envelope, a nucleoli appears. The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is the meiosis. Meiosis is the type of cell division used in sexual reproduction. It will occur in the testes and ovaries.

mount saint helens erupted several times between may and august 1980 what lesson did the eruptions teach scientists

Elanso [62]

The eruption of Mount St. Helens provided a prospect for the scientists to examine the effects of the catastrophe. In the eruption, the losses were tragic, however, after the incident, the geologists hugely bettered their tendency to determine eruptions, by safely evacuating thousands of Filipino people prior to the eruption of Pinatubo in 1991.

Scientists also started to learn various other valuable lessons, even some of them have defied the fundamentals of evolutionary thinking. The eruption of 1980, offered a natural laboratory for comprehending that how quickly the catastrophic procedures can reshape the globe, and how briskly wildlife can recover.
