The formula used can be found in Quora.com (population*average height)/Earth's circumference), gives the result of the number of the human chain.

If the average height of an American is 1.77m and the US population is  326, 292, 068 (June 2, 2017) and if everyone is already an adult. 

US population 326, 292, 068
Average height according to study
is estimated as the same as arm span  <span>1.77
</span>Earth circumference in meters: <span>40,075,000
</span>
<span>
(</span>326, 292, 068 people * 1.77m) / 40,075,000m = 14.411 times

I need help with this (#20)
tester [92]

Answer:

a Anaphase I

b Metaphase I

c Telophase I

d Anaphase II

e Prophase I

f Telophase II

Explanation:

Prophase I begins after the DNA has been duplicated, as shown in picture e. The chromosomes are condensed, and also visible, which is apparent in picture e.

The next stage is called Metaphase I, in which the pairs of homologous chromosomes align at The the centre of the cell and the spindle fibres attach, as shown in picture b.

The pairs of chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibres., as shown in picture a. This stage is called Anaphase I.

Then, a process called Telophase I occurs, when the cell divides into two daughter cells. One of these cells is shown in picture c.

Picture d shows the stage Anaphase II, where the spindle has attached and the chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles of the cell.

The final picture left is picture f, which shows the daughter cell at the end of meiosis II, where the nuclear envelope is reforming, as in telophase II.

Should existing structures build from CCA-treated wood be removed?
stiks02 [169]

Because of the health risks of long-term exposure to arsenic, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that as of December 31, 2003, arsenic Currently the EPA does not recommend that people remove existing structures made with CCA-treated wood or the soil surrounding those structures. However, they do recommend that people reduce their potential exposure to arsenic.</span>
