Answer:

159.01 mmHg

Explanation:

position of Heart = 2m  below the top of the head  given that the neck is fully extended

<u>Determine the minimum diastolic pressure </u>

Minimum diastolic Pressure = 1060 kg/m^3 * 10 m/s^2 * 2m

                                               = 21200 kg/m^2

convert the value to Pa

21200 kg/m^2 = 21200 Pa

( 1 pa = 0.00750062 mmHg )

Therefore : minimum diastolic pressure = 21200 * 0.00750062 = 159.01 mmHg

Why does the cell replicate its DNA?
Verizon [17]

Explanation:

When cells asexually reproduce they split off from itself, and they have to replicate their DNA so both cells will have it because DNA is what tells the cell what to do, and how to work. The DNA will tell the cell parts all how to do their jobs, and will let the cell know when it should split off from itself. The DNA controls everything in the cell so without it the cell wouldn't know what to do.
