Some species cell division produces reproductive cells in sexually reproduce organisms
beks73 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Sex cells divide through meiosis and non sex cells divide through mitosis in animals while in plants sex cell divide through both mitosis and meiosis

Explanation:

In humans and all other animal species, the non sex cells such as skin cell, muscle cell, blood cells etc. divided by mitosis. It is so because these cells deplete at a fast rate and hence their retrieval also needs to be fast. Also these are diploid cells hence cell divide through mitosis. Sex cells such as male and female gametes are haploid cells and hence their divide through meiosis.  

In plants gamete formation requires both mitosis and meiosis cell division.

Continental drift states that continents moved ____ to their current location
Ahat [919]
<h3>Slowly</h3>

Wegener proposed the hypothesis of continental drift, which suggested that continents are in constant motion on the surface of Earth. Over time Pangaea began breaking apart, and the continents slowly moved to their present positions.

<h3>What is Continental Drift ?</h3>

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener.

  • Wegener's continental drift theory introduced the idea of moving continents to geoscience. He proposed that Earth (opens in new tab) must have once been a single supercontinent before breaking up to form several different continents.

  • The four pieces of evidence for the continental drift include continents fitting together like a puzzle, scattering ancient fossils, rocks, mountain ranges, and the old climatic zones' locations.

In the last century, the extent of global rain forests has been reduced by _____. one-half
Elodia [21]

The correct answer is - one-half.

In the past century, the deforestation of the rainforests in the world had been devastating, and it is estimated that approximately one half of the tropical rainforests have been destroyed.

The reason for the large scale destruction of the rainforests is mainly because of clearing space for agriculture and for spaces where the cattle can graze. Unfortunately, the people that live the regions where the tropical forests are, are not well educated as to how to manage the land, and a big problem is that the soil of the rainforests is only good for 2-3 seasons, because it spends and erodes very quickly. Because of that, people just continue to clear more and more of it, thus leaving destroyed forest and destroyed soil behind them, without taking in consideration the long term effects.
