1. Mitosis takes place within somatic cells (cells that make up the body). Meiosis takes place within gamete cells (sex cells).
2. One single division of the mother cell results in two daughter cells. Two divisions of the mother cell result in four meiotic products or haploid gametes.
3. A mitotic mother cell can either be haploid or diploid. A meiotic mother cell is always diploid.
4. The number of chromosomes per nucleus remains the same after division. The meiotic products contain a haploid (n) number of chromosomes in contrast to the (2nd) number of chromosomes in the mother cell.
5. It is preceded by an S-phase in which the amount of DNA is duplicated. In meiosis, only meiosis I is preceded by an S-phase.
6. In mitosis, there is no pairing of homologous chromosomes. During prophase I, complete pairing of all homologous chromosomes takes place.
7. There is no exchange of DNA (crossing-over) between chromosomes. There is at least one crossing-over or DNA exchange per homologous pair of chromosomes.
8. The centromeres split during anaphase. The centromeres do separate during anaphase II, but not during anaphase I.
9. The genotype of the daughter cells is identical to that of the mother cells. Meiotic products differ in their genotype from the mother cell.
10. After mitosis, each daughter cell has exactly same DNA strands. After meiosis, each daughter cell has only half of the DNA strands

Answer:
This is not generally realized but is vital when designing aeration systems for growing on warm water species. Most research indicates that trout consume around 200 – 250 mg O2/kg/hour. I regularly record carp consuming three times as much at 700- 800 mg/kg/hour under optimal growing conditions.
Explanation:
Answer;
Formation of an adenine-uracil base pair
Explanation;
-Mutations are sudden spontaneous changes that occur randomly in the genome or genetic make up of an organism. These changes occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
-Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.
-Mutations happen for several reasons which includes; failure of DNA to copy accurately, external influences or factors such as specific chemicals and radiations.
Answer:
Down syndrome.
Explanation:
Down syndrome may be defined as the medical condition that occurs due to the presence of extra chromosome at the chromosome number 21. The individual has big head, rolled finger and tongue.
The chances of Down syndrome increases as the mother's age increases. The egg of the female get arrested at diplotene stage and with the increased age of mother the phenomena like translocation and non disjunction increases at this stage.
Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
