A simple way to remember the difference between mitosis and meiosis is that <u>Mitos</u>is produces cells found in <u>my toes</u> and the rest of your body cells. Meiosis creates sex cells for the purpose of reproduction.
D. Polar regions receive less solar energy and heat per unit area than tropical regions
Less direct sunlight means that there is less concentration of direct solar rays. This would influence temperature and would ultimately create weather, and since this pattern continues of switching direct ray latitudes, this would create climate zones all over the Earth, and similar ones with similar latitude and terrain.
