The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction,while the purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction. Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from a mitotic division are genetically identical to the original nucleus. They have the same number of sets of chromosomes, one set in the case of haploid cells and two sets in the case of diploid cells. In most plants and all animal species, it is typically diploid cells that undergo mitosis to form new diploid cells. In contrast, meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions resulting in four nuclei that are usually partitioned into four new haploid daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from meiosis are not genetically identical and they contain one chromosome set only. This is half the number of chromosome sets in the original cell, which is diploid.

Basile [38]

Answer:

Earth radiates infrared radiation.

Incident infrared radiation is blocked.

Infrared radiation is blocked and heats Earth.

Visible and ultraviolet radiation heat Earth.

Explanation:

When the sunlight enters earth's atmosphere, it has short wavelength but after hitting the earth surface, it has long wavelength which allow very less solar radiation by the clouds and greenhouse gases to go into the atmosphere and as a result the earth heat up. if the greenhouse gases are increased in the atmosphere so more heat is blocked by these greenhouse gases and as a result global warming occur.

Describe the characteristics of a non-vascular plant:
Sidana [21]

<span>Unlike vascular plants, non-vascular plants do not have tissue specialised fro transport of fluids, so</span> they cannot control the rate of water loss. However, they have simple tissues that can perform this function. They also lack in true leaves, seeds, flowers, and roots. They usually live in moist environment so they can absorb water more efficiently.
