Answer:

C) production of sperm and eggs

Explanation:

Sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes respectively. Formation of sperms and egg cells require meiotic cell division. Meiosis in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells reduces the chromosome number of half in the sperms and eggs. Meiosis also adds new gene combinations in these gametes by the process of crossing over.  

Mitosis cannot reduce the chromosome number to half in the sperms and eggs. Absence of crossing over in mitosis leads to the formation of genetically identical progeny cells from mitosis.  

Hence, mitosis can not form sperms and egg cells.  If it does, the sperms and egg cells would not have genetic variations and there would be doubling of chromosome number with each round of sexual reproduction.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Because oxygen is circulated throughout the body via the bloodstream, there is a strong connection between the cardiovascular system and the <em><u>respiratory</u></em> system.

Explanation:

The cardiovascular system is responsible for the transport of oxygen to all tissues of the body, in addition to the removal of carbon dioxide, which depends on the close interaction with the respiratory system.

A summary of the strong connection between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is :

Blood contains red blood cells, which are responsible for transporting O₂ and CO₂ by binding to the hemoglobin molecule, present in these structures. The respiratory system is responsible for providing air with O₂ and removing CO₂, a process that depends on gas exchange at the level of the pulmonary alveolus.
