Similarities between mitosis and meiosis:

Both mitosis and meiosis are processes of cell division. They use the same steps for cell division, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Differences between mitosis and meiosis:

Mitosis is the process of asexual reproduction, while meiosis involves sexual reproduction. Higher life forms, such human beings and animals undergo meiosis. The resulting offspring is genetically different in the case of meiosis, while the offspring is identical in the case of mitosis. Meiosis includes two steps of division, compared to the single step of mitosis. During the process of meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half, while in mitosis, they remain the same. Also, mitosis produces 2 diploid cells, while meiosis produces 4 haploid cells.

Hope this helps.

Meiosis Happens twice to form sex cell. Mitosis Happens once to form a new body cell to protect or replace other body cell. They are alike because they both split cells and start with one cell.

Which of the following paraphrases Hubble Law?

77julia77 [94]

<h2>Answer: The greater the distance to a galaxy, the greater its redshift</h2>

When we talk about the visible electromagnetic spectrum, we know it starts in violet-blue and ends in red.

Now, in this context the astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the red (red shift), whereas the nearby stars showed a spectrum displaced to the blue.

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum, and noted that all galaxies are "moving away from each other with a speed that increases with distance", and enunciated the now called Hubble–Lemaître Law.

This means in the past the distance between two galaxies was smaller than at present, being this the proof that the universe is expanding (like a balloon expands when it is filled with air or another gas).

At this poitn it is important to stay clear that the redshift is not produced by the relative movement of the galaxies with each other. This effect is in fact, due to the own expansion of the space among the galaxies.

Vikentia [17]

The land that supplies water to the river system is called a Watershed.

Pollution from a single, identifiable source is called point source pollution.

Pollution that is difficult to link to a particular origin is called non-point source pollution.

A watershed is a land area that channels rainfall and snowmelt to creeks, streams, and rivers, and eventually to outflow points such as reservoirs, bays, and the ocean.

Point source pollution is a single identifiable source of air, water, thermal, noise or light pollution.

Non-point source pollution is a kind of pollution that occurs when runoff from rain and snowmelt carries pollutants into waterways such as rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, and even groundwater.
