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 would you describe the appearance of the substance after the phase change?

Leona [35]

Answer:

Substances can change phase—often because of a temperature change. At low temperatures, most substances are solid; as the temperature increases, they become liquid; at higher temperatures still, they become gaseous. The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting.

What happened to the kinetic energy when the velocy of a moving body is doubled?

dem82 [27]

Answer:

If velocity is doubled, Kinetic Energy increases by 4 times. Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by it, by virtue of its motion, i.e. if the body is moving it will always have kinetic energy.Nov 1, 2018

Hello there!

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy during this unprecendented time.

A) What is the work done?

Answer: We need to use the formula

$w=-F_f(d)$

$w=-(35)(20)$

$w=-700J$

B) What is the work done on the cart by the gravitational force?

Alright, we know that the gravitional force is perpendicular to the diplacement. Therefore, we gonna use the following formula:

$w=Fdcos90$

$w=0$

C) What is the work done on the cart by the shopper?

This is the easier part, since we already know that the work done by the shopper is the same as the work done by the friction force

$W shopper + W friction = 0\\W shopper = W-friction \\W shopper = 700J$

D) Find the force the shopper exerts, using energy considerations.

$F_f+Fcos25=0\\-35+Fcos25=0\\F=38.6N$

E) What is the total work done?

You just need to add them:

$w=wshopper+wfriction\\w=0$

Alexxandr [17]

It is c convection because convection is when something is hot therefore less dense material to rise and cooler material to sink under the influence of gravity
