Answer:
the end results of mitosis and meiosis are completely different: Mitosis: One diploid cell → two diploid cells. Goal is cell division. Meiosis: One diploid cell → four haploid cells.
Explanation:
Answer:
<h3>Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own.</h3>
<h3>At the most basic level, viruses consist of genetic material contained within a protective protein coat called a capsid; the existence of both genetic material and protein distinguishes them from other virus-like particles such as prions and viroids.</h3>
<h3>They infect a wide variety of organisms: both eukaryotes (animals, fungi and plants) and prokaryotes (bacteria).</h3>
<h3>A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage, often shortened to phage.</h3>
<h3>The study of viruses is known as virology, and those who study viruses are known as virologists.</h3><h3 /><h3>It has been argued extensively whether viruses are living organisms.</h3>
<h3>Most virologists consider them non-living, as they do not meet all the criteria of the generally accepted definition of life.</h3>
<h3>They are similar to obligate intracellular parasites as they lack the means for self-reproduction outside a host cell, but unlike parasites, viruses are generally not considered to be true living organisms.</h3>
<h3>A primary reason is that viruses do not possess a cell membrane or metabolise on their own - characteristics of all living organisms.</h3>
<h3>Examples of common human diseases caused by viruses include the common cold, the flu, chickenpox and cold sores.</h3>
As diatoms are made from silica this makes diatomaceous earth very abrasive, and so the sharpness enhances the particles as a pesticide. Diatoms are also useful in forensic studies. If a person has drowned then diatoms are able to enter the human body.
Answer:
Practice that provides the best means of protecting biodiversity in the wild for future generations is - <u>expanding breeding programs for endangered species .</u>
Explanation: The best way of preserving biodiversity for future generations in the wild -
- <u>Expanding breeding programs for endangered species . -:</u> Breeding programmes, such as the panda, help conserve endangered species. Replanting hedgerows because there is greater biodiversity in them than the fields they surround, minimizing deforestation and the release of greenhouse gases, protecting and creating new endangered ecosystems, often by making National Parks.
The other statements are not so suitable means of protecting biodiversity in the wild for future generation as the first statement indicates about the initiation of recycling programmes in neighborhood , which has no role in preservation of biodiversity or wildlife because the statement is about keeping the environment clean and healthy .
The other statement is about reduction of air pollution as buying vehicles with reduced carbon emissions improves the quality of air.
And the other statement of Protecting wildlife areas such as national parks comes under the other statement which states "expanding breeding programs for endangered species".
Hence , the correct option is D.
Answer: C Biodiversity has prevented this ecosystem from being sustainable.
Explanation:
The extensive grazing by the organisms in the Chihuahuan Desert which has made the ecosystem unstable has made the ecosystem incapable of sustaining the organisms that depend on it.
This is because the extensive grazing means that the ecosystem in the desert which comprises of the flora has seen its resources being overused and can now no longer support the organisms in it.
