A clade is a group of organisms that includes an ancestor and all of its descendants. Clades are based on cladistics. This is a method of comparing traits in related species to determine ancestor-descendant relationships. Clades are represented by cladograms, like the one in Figure below.

Biome1: ________Tropical Savannah____________
IceJOKER [234]
EcosystemTropical Savanna is found between sections of tropical rain forest and deserts.  They have 2 seasons; wet (constant humidity) and dry (long periods of dry spells and drought that may cause fires).

Both savanna buffalo and forest buffalo live close to water. The buffalo are found throughout the northern and southern savanna as well as the lowland rain forest.
<span>How might this population suddenly increase? How might this affect the ecosystem?  If there was an increase in population; grasslands during the wet season will be gone, more predators will flock for an abundance of buffalo.
</span>
<span>What might happen to the ecosystem if this population was removed?  If you remove the buffalo from the savanna ecosystem, it can cause a ripple effect such as populations of small mammal (mouse) will double, which will attract more snakes (venomous), it can cause the flea and tick population to increase, and the increase in tick/fleas can cause the risk of transmission of flea/tick borne pathogens.</span>

A cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells? How many daughter cells are
Natalka [10]

Answer:

1. 80 chromosomes are found in each of the daughter cells. 2. Two daughter cells are produced. 3. The daughter cells are identical to each other.

Explanation:

Mitosis is simply a process of cell division whereby two daughter cells that are genetically identical are produced from a single parent cell. A cell having 80 chromosomes would undergo Mitosis through these various stages:

Interphase: This can be referred to as the rest phase between cell division when mature enough for reproduction. This is a preparatory stage where DNA is duplicated and ready for the division of chromosomes

Prophase: This stage marks the beginning mitosis of the cell with 80 chromosomes. The chromatin threads start a coiling process in which the chromosomes become condensed to enable easy distribution to daughter cells without tangling.  

Prometaphase: This phase commences toward the end of the prophase, where the nuclear envelop breaks down. The chromosomes move toward to the center of the cell.

Metaphase: At this stage, the duplicated chromosomes line up on the mid plane or equator of the cell. During this stage, each chromatid is condensed completely and appears thick and distinct.

Anaphase: At this stage, the chromosomes move toward the poles as each replicated copies of the DNA of the cell ends up on either side of the cell. What we would have here at this stage is an entirely two new sister chromatid having 80 chromosomes. Cytokinesis begins towards the end of this stage as the parent cell cytoplasm divides which also continues at telophase.

Telophase: This is the final phase of Mitosis where two separate nuclei are formed and Cytokinesis takes place to complete the division of the cell to form two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes. These cells are genetically identical to the original parent cell.

What does each phase of mitosis look like
Sphinxa [80]
Interphase: You could not distinguish any parts of the cell.
Prophase: You could clearly see the chromosomes throughout the cell.
Metaphase: The chromosomes where lines up in the middle of the cell.
Anaphase: You could see the chromosomes were separated to ether side of the cell.
Telophase: The entire cell was separated to each side but was not split into its own cell.
Cytokinesis: In this step the cell had totally separated and there was now two separate daughter cells.
