5 0

Answer:

Phytoplankton are some of Earth's most critical organisms and so it is vital study and understand them. They generate about half the atmosphere's oxygen, as much per year as all land plants.Phytoplankton also form the base of virtually every ocean food web. In short, they make most other ocean life possible

why does the meiosis produce cells with only half the amount of DNA? How does this aid in the formation of a healthy zygote?
Andreyy89
Meiosis produces cells (germ cells or gametes) with only half the DNA, or chromosomes, as normal cells (somatic cells). This is called haploid or referred to as "n" number of chromosomes. Normal body cells have doubke that, called "2n," or diploid. For humans our n = 23, so germ cells (haploid) have only 23 chromosomes, while somatic (normal body) cells have "2n" or 46 chromosomes. It is important to only carry half the number of chromosomes or DNA (n), because it is going to combine with another half (n) when sperm meets egg during fertilization. This n + n = 2n restores the diploid number of chromosomes (DNA) in a zygote, the first cell of a future embryo, fetus, and new human being.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given
alexandr402 [8]

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

Tap for fewer steps...

The slope-intercept form is  

y = m x + b  

where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept.

y = m x + b  

Using the slope-intercept form the slope is  

− 4 . m = − 4

To find an equation that is parallel to  

y = − 4 x + 2

the slopes must be equal. Using the slope of the equation, find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

( − 2 , 5 ) m = − 4

Using the point-slope form  

y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )

plug in  

m = − 4 ,  x 1 = − 2

and  

y 1 = 5 . y − ( 5 ) = ( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) )

Solve for  

y .

Multiply  

− 1  by  5 . y − 5 = ( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) )

Simplify  

( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) ) .

Multiply  

− 1  by  − 2 . y − 5 = − 4 ( x + 2 )

Apply the distributive property.

y − 5 = − 4 x − 4 ⋅ 2

Multiply  − 4  by  2 . y − 5 = − 4 x − 8

Move all terms not containing  

y  to the right side of the equation.

Add  

5

to both sides of the equation.

y = − 4 x − 8 + 5  Add  − 8  and  5 . y = − 4 x − 3

HOPE THIS HELPED!
