Similarities: Mitosis and meiosis both involve cell replication. They both involve prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Differences: Meiosis creates gametes while mitosis creates somatic cells. Mitosis creates two daughter cells, while meiosis creates four sperm cells in men and one egg cell and three polar bodies in women. Mitosis involves one round of cell division, while meiosis involves two. Mitosis creates cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, while meiosis creates cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Hope that helped you. 
P.S. There are more similarities and differences, challenge yourself and see if you can find them! Good luck.

How do forestry, industry and agriculture contribute to water pollution? Write one complete sentence for each. *
Darya [45]

High quantities of nutrients in water from industrial crop fertilizers and animal waste cause excessive aquatic plant growth — a process known as “eutrophication,” which, in turn, causes “hypoxia,” or water that is low in oxygen. Harmful algal blooms (or HABs) occur when aquatic algae grow rapidly out of control.

Cell walls are impermeable to transport of most materials required for bacterial nutrition.
mezya [45]

The given statement is False.

The bacterial cells walls are composed of peptidoglycan, also known as murein. It comprises polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides, involving D-amino acids. The bacterial cell walls are distinct from cell walls of fungi and plants that are made up of chitin and cellulose, respectively.

The cell walls in bacteria allow small molecules to pass through them freely, however, do not permit large molecules to pass through them, in this manner, it function as a coarse filter.

The main function of the cells wall is to sustain the shape of the cell and inhibit the cell from bursting due to osmotic pressure. The cell wall allows the components to pass, which are essential for bacterial nutrition.

g ______________ pair with UAC, UAU, and UGC codons. Group of answer choices tRNAs ribosomes elongation factors release factors
Vsevolod [243]

The anticodons on tRNA are the ones that pair with codons on mRNA during translation.

<h3>Translation</h3>

It is also known as protein synthesis.

During this process, the genetic codes on mRNA, otherwise known as codons, pair with their complementary anticodons on tRNA to release the respective amino acid.

The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to give the primary structure of proteins.
