Shkiper50 [21]
1) To calculate the population density you first need to know how many <span>squirrels form that population.
To calculate the number of</span><span> squirrels:
1500</span> squirrels is the capacity, so it's equivalent to 100%
So how much squirrels are present in 80% of the area:
1500----100 %
x----------80 %
x= 1200 <span>squirrels
</span> 
2)Population Density equals the number of squirrels divided by the land area
In the first part was calculated the number of squirrels and the exercise gives us the area in hectares so the only thing left to do is divide them.
(since this exercise doesn't specify that the area needs to be in a certain measurement we can use hectares)
 Population Density = 1200/ 150
<span>The population density of the squirrels is 8 per hectare</span>

Bess [88]

When a nucleus divides by mitosis, all of the information from the nuclear

chromosomes is passed on to the daughter cells.

Mitosis is a cell division process that results in the formation of two daughter cells during growth processes and in the replacement of worn-out tissues in the body.

The cells produced must have all the information as the cells replicated

have specialized functions which must be passed from parent cells to the daughter cells.
