Answer: Meiosis

Explanation: There two types of cell division: Meiosis and mitosis. Meiosis occurs in sex cells otherwise called gametes. In meiosis, a single cell divides two times to produce four daughter cells with haploid number of chromosomes i.e., half the number of chromosomes in the parent cell.

What are the smallest blood cells in the frog?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Unlike typical mammalian red blood cells, those from amphibians, such as frogs, contain a DNA-bearing nucleus that is visible in the center of the cell. The circulatory system of amphibians is rather unusual, their hearts having three chambers, two atria, and a single ventricle.

NegativePositive

Positive

The design of the amphibian circulatory system is curious because blood accumulates oxygen in the lungs and is then returned to the heart before being pumped into the rest of the circulatory system. Therefore, a mixing between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood occurs as blood returning to the heart from the lungs is mixed with incoming blood from the body. Frogs handle this situation by having a very slow metabolism and by absorbing some oxygen through their skin. In addition, the ventricle does have some directional control over the distribution of the blood.

Negative

The presence of a nucleus in amphibian red blood cells allows researchers easy access to large quantities of amphibian DNA. Frog blood has both a solid and a liquid portion. The liquid plasma carries solid elements such as red and white blood cells. Blood can be collected from frogs and the red blood cells isolated by centrifugation. After removal of the residual plasma, purified cells can be treated with specific enzymes and detergents to digest the cellular envelope and release DNA from its protein complex. The DNA is then useful for scientific studies and experiments.

The head of a phospholipid can be described as _____.
sergij07 [2.7K]
I believe that the answer to this would be polar and hydrophilic (soluble in water). The answer would be the third option. What makes the head of a phospholipid hydrophilic is that its polar head is negatively-charged and made by a phosphate group. Hope this helps.

Naddika [18.5K]
Here are the four postulates of natural selection, according to Charles Darwin:
1. variability - refers to different mutations that create different species
2. heritability - refers to the genes that are passed from one organism onto its descendants
3. overproduction of offspring - refers to the fact that more "children" is born than dies
4. natural selection - refers to those organisms that survive because they adapt to their surroundings better than those who will die

PLEASE HELP Soil erosion due to rainfall is an example of interactions between the geosphere and
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

D hydrosphere

Explanation:

Soil erosion is the removal  of the top soil layer. Soil erosion is controlled by precipitation (e.g. rainfall) and wind action. Continuous water flow on soil surface supports microorganisms to perform biogeochemical cycles. The phenonmenon is primarlity controlled governed at the iterface of geosphere (soil) and hydrosphere (water).

On the other hand, atmosphere (layers of gases), biosphere (living organisms), cryosphere (frozen water) are not directly related to soil erosion.
