<h2>What happens for elements larger than iron to be created? </h2>
- Neutron-capture inside stars is the primary source of elements heavier than iron, while there are other minor contributors (cosmic ray spallation, radioactive decay). They are not just produced by supernovae, but also by other stars.
Provide structure and support, facilitate growth through mitosis. allow passive and active transport, produce energy, create metabolic reactions, aids in reproductive.
Meiosis involves crossing over where chromosomes exchange genetic segments, resulting in different sets of chromosomes. Each time an egg or sperm created, it is different due to this recombination. Mitosis on the other hand is non-sex cells replicating exact copies of themselves which lead to no genetic variation as they aren't involved in producing offspring.
