Maurinko [17]2 years ago

<span>Mitosis is a cell division in which one diploid cell divides into two identical diploid cells. On the other hand, a</span> cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half  in daughter cells is called meiosis. Meiosis consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. After meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half and the result is two haploid cells. Meiosis II is actually analogous to mitosis. So, in meiosis II, haploid cell divides into two identical haploid cells. In total, meiosis results in four haploid cells while mitosis results in two diploid cells.

The incidence of V. vulnificus infections is increasing, especially in northern parts of the United States, compared to 20 years
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The effects of climate change may be associated with the increased incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection

Explanation:

<em>Vibrio vulnificus</em> is a harmful bacterium that causes a serious disease due to eating contaminated seafood, which is the main cause of seafood-related deaths in the USA. <em>V. vulnificus</em> is naturally present in the flora of coastal waters around the world and this bacterium has been isolated from a variety of seafood (e.g.., fish, oysters, shrimp, etc). Epidemiologic studies have shown that the incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection has increased dramatically since 1996. During this same period, climate change has been responsible for the increase in salinity and temperature of the coastal waters (i.e., the natural habitat of this bacterium). In consequence, it is reasonable to suppose that the change in climatic conditions may be associated with the increased incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection.

Georgia is the world's leading producer of this type of clay used in the manufacturing of
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Georgia is the world's leading producer of Kaolin (china clay).

Explanation:

Kaolin or china clay contains the mineral kaolinite mainly. It also contains varying amounts of other minerals like muscovite, feldspar, quartz, etc. In order to prepare it for commercial use, the clay in its natural form is then chemically treated and washed with water to remove the other minerals.

Kaolin is extensively used in the ceramic industry and the paper-coating industry. The high fusion temperature and white burning characteristics are used in the ceramic industry for the manufacture of chinaware, porcelain, and refractories. In the paper-coating industry, the kaolin is mixed with the cellulose fiber in the paper sheet. This gives the paper its color, opacity, and printability. It is also used as a pigment additive in paints, as a filler in plastic and rubber compounds, and in pharmaceuticals.

A branching diagram uses shared characteristics to classify organisms.On a branching diagram that compares the major kingdoms of
lapo4ka [179]

Animalia is the label that appears to differentiate animals from organisms on other kingdom.

Explanation:

Scientists uses the process called taxonomy to classify the organisms based on their structure, functions and relationship to other organisms.

Eukaryotes represents the domain of life. Domain Eukarya are classified into four kingdoms they are protista, fungi, plantae and animalia.

The kingdom protista represents the organisms that are simple structured and they swim through the water and obtain nutrients from the environment.

In the kingdom fungi like mushrooms absorb nutrients from the environment and they are heterotrophs.

In the plantae kingdom the organisms are plants and they are autotrophs. They prepare their own food.

In Animalia kingdom the organisms are animals and they are multicellular heterotrophs. They do not have cell walls and the reproduction is done sexually and some can reproduce asexual.
