N)
Biology

there's a mistake in the question, weight isn't measured in pounds its measured in newtons, mass is measured in pounds

im going to assume ur asking why our weight is different on the moon and earth, and why the mass remains the same

weight is how many newtons of gravity is acting on you. the gravitational field strength on earth and moon are very different. on earth its 9.8N and on the moon its 1.6N. Because the force of gravity is weaker on the moon, you weigh less.

What are the 4 steps of mitosis? What occurs during each?
koban [17]

Explanation:

There are four stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.1) Prophase: chromatin into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope break down, chromosomes attach to spindle fibres by their centromeres 2) Metaphase: chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate (centre of the cell) 3) Anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell 4) Telophase: nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes unfold into chromatin, cytokinesis can begin The order of the stages of mitosis can be remembered using the mnemonic PMAT.

Describe the differnt phrases and changes of female reproductive system during a menstruation cycle
GenaCL600 [577]
Basically we can divide the whole cycle into 6 phrase. menstruation, repair phrase, ovulation, receptive phrase, and pre menstrual phrase, all in this order.
usually a cycle takes around 28 days, but it can sometimes be longer or shorter depending on different women.
for around the first 5 days (again, it's not exact days) it's menstruation, uterus lining is shed out from the vagina. this only occurs if fertilisation and implantation does not take place.
then for the next few days, it's the repair phrase, oestrogen helps repair the lining of uterus, to thicken it up, to prepare for fertilisation and implantation, a place for the fetus to develope.
next 3 days will be ovulation, where the ovary will release one mature egg (but sometimes 2 or none) into the oviduct, the egg can only survive for a few days so if fertilisation doesn't occur during this phrase, menstruation will occur that cycle.
next will be receptive phrase, where the lining keeps on thickening, and the thickness is maintained by progesterone, another female hormone.
at last it's the pre menstrual phrase, lining will start to degenerate unless implantation ocured.
hope this helps
