2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.

3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.

4.  Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.

5. Rainforests are threatened each and every day, especially by practices such as agriculture, ranching, logging and mining.

Hope this helps!

The reduction in the number of chromosomes to half the normal count occurs during:____.
Xelga [282]

"The reduction in the number of chromosomes to half the normal count occurs during meiosis."

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the production of four gamete cells. To develop egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction, this process is necessary. This division occurs in sexually reproducing organisms.

During meiosis, four haploid cells with one copy of each chromosome are produced after two rounds of division. The genetic material from the maternal and paternal copies of each chromosome is combined to produce new combinations. Following this, during fertilization, the haploid cells (made by a male and a female) fuse to form a cell with two copies of each chromosome, referred to as a zygote.
