Coin flipping simulates the events of mitosis and the production of sperm. This is because females carry XX chromosomes so all eggs will have a singular X chromosome. It is the sperm that determines the sex of the foetus: males have XY chromosomes and therefore sperm will carry either X or Y chromosomes (a 50/50 chance, just like flipping a coin)
Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules. ... They can even join "head-to-tail" to make rings of carbon atoms.
Explanation:
In the process of photosynthesis, plants that contain chlorophyll utilize carbon dioxide and water using energy from sunlight that is absorbed by chlorophyll to make glucose + oxygen.
Answer:
Mitosis, Meiosis, and both are written below
Explanation:
Mitosis: produces more somatic (body) cells, purpose is for healing and growing, the daughter cells are exact replicas
- This is because mitosis occurs in body cells and is used for growth, so all the daughter cells are the same.
Meiosis: results in sex cells (gametes), results in eggs and sperm, purpose is for creating new individuals (eventually), each daughter cell is different, has 2 separate division stages
- This is because meiosis occurs in gametes and is used in reproduction.
Both: Chromosomes need to replicate before the whole process begins, a form of reproduction
- This is because both are reproducing (they are dividing) and DNA must be replicated so each daughter cell has it.
