What is the differences between mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis and meiosis are both processes which describe the production of new cells. Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. Each daughter cell is diploid (contains the normal number of chromosomes). This is the result of DNA replication and 1 cell division. Mitosis is used in growth and asexual reproduction. Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells, each of which are unidentical to the parent cell and to one another. Each daughter cell is haploid (contains half the number of normal chromosomes). This is the result of DNA replication, followed by crossing over of homologous chromosomes and separation of chromosomes. There are two cell divisions: the parent cell divides once and then each cell produced by this first division divides once. Meiosis is used to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells), the cells of sexual reproduction. Two gametes fuse to form a zygote, a diploid cell with the full number of chromosomes.

How does surface area affect the amount of air resistance an object experiences?

Ymorist [56]

The greater the cross-sectional area of an object, the greater the amount of air resistance it encounters since it collides with more air molecules. ... It will have to accelerate for a longer period of time before there is enough upward air resistance to balance the downward force of gravity.

A 5cm tall object is placed 4cm in front of a converging lens that has a focal length of 8cm. Where is the image located in ____

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

a. -8 cm

Explanation:

$d_{o}$ = distance of the object = 4 cm

$d_{i}$ = distance of the image = ?

$f$ = focal length of the converging lens = 8 cm

using the lens equation

$\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{8}$

$d_{i}$ = - 8 cm

a vector is 253 m long and points in a 55.8 degree direction, what’s the y and x- component of the vector?

BartSMP [9]

Well we know the hypotenuse of the triangle which is 253 m. And we know the angle of the triangle which is 55.8 degrees. So we want to find y. And to find y we use sin. And sin is a ratio, the ratio of the opposite leg, and hypotenuse. So sin(55.8) = y/253. Now we solve for y by multiplying both sides by 253. And finally we get 209.25 as the length of the y component.
