Answer:

<em><u>b) skin cells go through the process of mitosis to make new identical cells.</u></em>

Explanation:

The skin is the largest organ in the human body; it forms a protective barrier that keeps out external pathogens, and is integral to waste removal. When the organ is injured, damaged cells initiate an immune response, while healthy cells nearby begin to replicate.

This type of cell replication involves somatic cells and results in the diploid number of chromosomes called mitosis. Skin cells are somatic- they contain all 24 pairs of human chromosomes. During replication, the chromosomes are unwound, and copied- then, the newly copied chromosomes separate into two identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number.

1. How does our ecological footprint affect each of the spheres on Earth?

Viefleur [7K]

Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth

The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)

The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)

The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)

The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres

The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)

The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere

Why are petals of flower colorful?

inessss [21]

Answer: The colors you see in flowers come from the DNA of a plant. Genes in a plant's DNA direct cells to produce pigments of various colors. When a flower is red, for instance, it means that the cells in the petals have produced a pigment that absorbs all colors of light but red.
