The correct answer would be D, because the ending result for mitosis is 2 diploid cells, meaning the number chromosomes are the same. While in meiosis, the ending result is 4 haploid cells. Because the cell was divided twice, this means that each daughter cell has half of the number of chromosomes.
Answer:
b. thrive during the summer, when sunlight increases
Explanation:
Phytoplankton production is highly associated with latitude and season. In polar regions, phytoplankton production is reduced to the summer (and eventually spring) season. In consequence, the zooplankton that eats phytoplankton only can survive during the spring and summer seasons. On the other hand, in tropical areas, there exists a nearly constant phytoplankton production all year round.
A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
a) mutagen
b) inversion
c) point mutation
d) translocation
Answer:
c) point mutation
Explanation:
When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.
D: Surface-water runoff from rain
