Answer:

Because it has a double division, it's like a double mitosis process

Explanation:

As you can see in the image below, meiosis has a larger process than mitosis, and it results in 4 new cells. Actually, the first part of the process is very similar to mitosis, but the next part is the second division and thats the moment when new cells result just with half chromosomes.

In fact, meiosis is the reproduction process of sexual cells, and these cells need to have just half chromosome, because when a fetus is formed by an ovule and a spermatozoon (both of them just with half chromosomes) the genetic information is gonna be complete and not duplicated.

Camille and her friends enjoy experimenting with different foods. During a camping trip, they decide to fry bacon using nothing

natima [27]

The two sentences that accurately describe the girls' experience with heat transfer are "Camille heats a rock in the campfire for 30 minutes, and then removes it with tongs. She greases the rock and lays the bacon strips directly on it." By heating the rocks in the campfire and laying the bacon on the rocks, the girls transferred the heat from the fire to the rocks, and the heat from the rocks to cook the bacon.

1.) The best fit line...

Deffense [45]

A best fit line is a straight line so it can't connect to every dot on the graph. If there were many points everywhere, the line would zigzag to much.

Best fit is meant to be an average of all the dots (data)
It's either C or D

For D, the line does not necessarily miss every one on purpose; a data point could be a part of the average.

Explain why you can see the Moon. Science

Ghella [55]

Answer:We see the Moon because sunlight reflects back to us from its surface. During the course of a month, the Moon circles once around the Earth. If we could magically look down on our solar system, we would see that the half of the Moon facing the Sun is always lit. But the lit side does not always face the Earth. As the Moon circles the Earth, the amount of the lit side we see changes. These changes are known as the phases of the Moon and it repeats in a certain way over and over.
