Answer:

The properties of liquids are intermediate between those of gases and solids, but are more similar to solids. In contrast to intramolecular forces, such as the covalent bonds that hold atoms together in molecules and polyatomic ions, intermolecular forces hold molecules together in a liquid or solid. Intermolecular forces are generally much weaker than covalent bonds. For example, it requires 927 kJ to overcome the intramolecular forces and break both O–H bonds in 1 mol of water, but it takes only about 41 kJ to overcome the intermolecular attractions and convert 1 mol of liquid water to water vapor at 100°C. (Despite this seemingly low value, the intermolecular forces in liquid water are among the strongest such forces known!) Given the large difference in the strengths of intra- and intermolecular forces, changes between the solid, liquid, and gaseous states almost invariably occur for molecular substances without breaking covalent bonds.

I believe the answer is The Dolphins.
In their Cooperative hunting, The dolphins requires five of its members to form of barrier while one or two of them are herding (Driving) their preys toward the barriers. And each dolphins will always play the same role in their group just like what we see in a football team.

Explanation:cell division occurs to produce new cells from preexisting ones. the new cells are called daughter cells.the old cells are called parent cells.cell division may be mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis occurs in a somatic cell and produce four daughter cell. Meiosis occurs in sex cells and produce two daughter cells. Cell division usually involves Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Cell division occurs to ensure the continous existence of life.

Mitosis involve producing daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells while meiosis involves producing daughter cells with Half number of chromosomes.
