In which Colorado Rockies scenario was there more erosion? Why was there more erosion in the scenario?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

There was more erosion in the Colorado Rockies scenario where there was steady rain compared to the scenario in the same area where there was only a drizzle. There is more erosion because the steady rain increased the volume of the river more than the drizzle did. Because there was more water added to the river, the river flowed faster. The faster a river flows, the more sediments it transports or erodes.

In what stage of the cell cycle are the daughter cell produced

marshall27 [118]

The big idea to remember is that mitosis is the simple duplication of a cell and all of its parts. It duplicates its DNA and the two new cells (daughter cells) have the same pieces and genetic code. Two identical copies come from one original. Start with one; get two that are the same. You get the idea.
So it is the very last stage!
