Answer:

It is very important because mitosis is basically replicating your DNA to make more cells that are exact replicas of each other. This is essential because if they are not exact replicas your body's immune system might not recognize it and so it will attack its own body's cell.

There are certain checkpoints throughout mitosis to ensure that everything is going ok, but if we suppose the errors pass the checkpoint and the cell divides from one to two daughter cells. If there is a genetic defect, where one daughter cell has more and one daughter cell has less chromosomes, both will be affected by it. This is called Nondisjunction which is the result of failure of chromosomes to separate during mitosis. This leads to new cells with either extra or missing chromosomes; a condition called aneuploidy.

SO what happens, they might be killed by body's own immune system. There might be apoptosis, which is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The organism to have maximum energy would be the algae since ii will be at the lowest level. so the answer is 'B'.

Explanation:

The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy from one trophic level to other. The lowest trophic level is occupied by the producers. In this case algae acts as the producer. Krill acts as the primary consumer, followed by leopard seal as the secondary consumer and finally killer whale as the tertiary consumer. The lowest trophic level contains maximum energy.

As we go upwards, only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the next trophic level.

What is a type of weathering where rock is dissolved by an acid

nignag [31]

Answer:

Chemical weathering

Explanation:

The weathering of rocks by chemicals is called chemical weathering . Rainwater is naturally slightly acidic because carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in it. Minerals in rocks may react with the rainwater, causing the rock to be weathered. Some types of rock are easily weathered by chemicals.

Definition of chemical weathering: the erosion or disintegration of rocks, building materials, etc., caused by chemical reactions (chiefly with water and substances dissolved in it) rather than by mechanical processes.
