The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west

Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.

Which stage of the cell cycle lasts longest?

Ugo [173]

Answer: i think the Interphase because

Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells. The prefix inter- means between, so interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.

Is a arctic wolf a symbiosis; mutualism, commensalism, parasitism.(describe thoroughly)

Nutka1998 [239]

Parasitism

There is parasitic (i.e. the wolf gets harmed while the parasite benefits) relationship between some types of parasites (like mites) and arctic wolves. The parasites dig into the wolves' fur and either lay eggs or just live there. This parasitic relationship causes itching for the wolves.
