The answer is; A

In anaphase of meiosis, all the chromosome line in a single track in the metaphase plate. In metaphase I of meiosis I, chromosome line the metaphase plate of the cell in homologous pairs. This is why at the end of telophase in anaphase I, the genetic material of the daughter cells is halved while in mitosis, it remains the same. Meiosis II is usually similar to mitosis.

<em>a. Sister chromatids separate in mitosis, while homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in meiosis I.</em>

Further explanation

In terms of understanding Mitosis and Meiosis are different. For Mitosis is the part of cell division, where the chromosomes in the nucleus split into 2 sets of identical chromosomes, each of which has a nucleus.

then Meiosis is cell division which reduces the number of chromosomes by half. This process occurs in every sexual reproduction.

In mitotic cell division the reproductive type is asexual. While meiosis division is cell division with a type of sexual reproduction.

organisms that experience or pass through the process of cell division of Mitosis ie all types of organisms. For Meiosis which experiences this type of division only organisms or living things such as humans, animals, plants, fungi.

Considering that Mitosis is a process of division with the asexual type of reproduction, genetic mixing does not occur, which is certainly the opposite of Meiosis in which there is a process of genetic mixing.

Still related to the type or type of reproduction. The absence of genetic mixing in Mitosis makes the characteristics of daughter cells and stem cells identical or identical. For Meiosis there is a difference between daughter cells and stem cells given the genetic mix.

Mitosis usually occurs for cell reproduction and for the growth and repair of cells in the body of an organism or living things. Meiosis occurs to distinguish an organism genetically through sexual reproduction.

Mitosis, which is a process of asexual division, makes the number of chromosomes produced unchanged or constant. For Meiosis which is sexual division, the number of chromosomes changes to half of the initial chromosome cells.

Based on what you have learned from your rankings in parts a and b, why is it generally hotter in summer than in winter?.

lesya692 [45]

We feel hotter in summer than in winter because the temperature is generally higher than in winter.

<h3>What are seasons?</h3>

There are three seasons on earth namely winter, summer, and rainy season. In the winter season, the temperature is cold and during summer the temperature is higher.

Timing and characteristic of season depend upon the location of the earth. The time of a year region experience season depends on it is northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere.

The southern hemispheres experiences winter while northern hemisphere experiences summer. The cycle of seasons is caused by earth's tilted towards the earth. The planet rotates around an axis.

Therefore, We feel hotter in summer than in winter because the temperature is generally higher than in winter.

Evolution Due to environmental factors, It may not look it, but, needles are leaves, they collect solar radiation to produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis, however, needles are, some would say, evolutionary superior to leaves. Needles themselves hold in more water due to their dense wax coating, they are very difficult for insects and other organisms to eat, one because of their structure, and two because of their acidity, they can catch sunlight all year long due to their winter resilience( they don't fall, during the winter), and they have less surface area for wind to catch, which leaves them better protected from wind than most deciduous trees, however the surface area can also pose a larger problem for less surface area means less sunlight interception, therefore more are needed to compete against regular leaves. But.. I Digress... Plant needles are 'PROBABLY' initially the result of evolution of narrow leaves due to climate or environmental factors.

Sry its so long got carried away! Hope this helps xD

What role does the somatic nervous system play?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

b. It converts messages that are received from the central nervous system into involuntary reflexes.

Explanation:

The somatic nervous system (SNS) is part of the peripheral nervous system (SNP), which is responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information both back and forth to the central nervous system (CNS).

The main function of the somatic nervous system is to connect the central nervous system to the organs, muscles and skin. This allows us to perform complex movements and behaviors. Somatic neurons carry messages from the external areas of the body that are directly related to the senses. The information captured by the sensory systems is transmitted to the central nervous system. The CNS then sends signals through the nervous networks of the somatic system to the muscles and organs.
