The horse and donkey, though closely related by sharing a common ancestor, are different species. They have different number of chromosomes hence pairing of homologous chromosomes during fusion of gametes becomes complicated. The mule will have an extra chromosome from the horse hence will have abnormalities such as sterility. A Mule is unable to reproduce due to this same phenomenon. Homologous chromosomes are not well paired for meiosis I.
Quartz
Explanation:
Quartz is a framework silicate made up of interlocking SiO₂. It is the most resistant mineral to weathering.
This is based on the Bowen's reaction series of minerals.
From the series;
- In a given melt, quartz is the last mineral to crystallize out of solution.
- Olivine is usually the first
- Quartz being the last does not readily react with other substances.
- This makes it resistant to agent of weathering.

Meristematic tissue is the dividing tissue present at the growing regions of the plants. They are meant for growth of an organ Cells of meristems divide continuously and help in increasing the length and girth of the plant
The cells of this tissue are similar in structure and have thin cellulose cell walls
The cells do not contain any intercellular space between them
The cells contain few vacuoles or no vacuoles at all
They are further divided in the following parts
1)Apical meristem
2)Lateral meristem
3)Intercalary meristem
A and D because cytokinesis is where a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells. Gametogenesis is the name given to the process where the cell undergoes meiosis.
