Among the northern Andean countries strongly involved in the illegal coca and drug trade, Columbia is now the predominant coca producer, so the answer would be option A.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The description is provided in the explanation section below
Explanation:
ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS is a unique phenomenon whereby certain organisms switch between a diploid state and a haploid state in their reproductive life cycle. It is a feature of plants (higher and lower).
A plant is a diploid organism (2n) i.e. contains two set of chromosomes. This diploid state of the plant is called the SPOROPHYTE. The diploid sporophyte (2n) of a plant undergoes meiotic division (reduction division) to produce haploid spores. These haploid spores germinates and grows via mitosis (duplication division) to form the haploid GAMETOPHYTE.
The haploid gametophyte (n), via structures called GAMENTAGIA, produces haploid gametes. The male gametophyte produces male gametes (sperm) while the female gametophyte produces female gamete (egg). These haploid gametes eventually fuse in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE (2n) i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n). The ZYGOTE undergoes series of mitotic divisions (growth) to form the diploid SPOROPHYTE (2n) of the plant. The cycle restarts again in that order, hence it is called ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS.
N.B: Mitosis maintains the number of chromosomes of the parent cell while meiosis reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half.
Answer: The Digestive System
Explanation: Polio first enters the body through the mouth, usually through contact between people. The infected person can spread it through their nasal and oral secretions (mucous and saliva) as well as through their infected contaminated fecal matter (stool from bowel movement), in cases of lack of hygiene. Once the polio virus is in the digestive tract, it multiplies quickly, then enters the blood, and ends up in the nervous system. From there, it attacks the spine leading to paralysis.
Answer:
Binary Fission is the reproduction of prokaryotic cells (bacteria and bacteria-like Archaea) is accomplished through binary fission. Binary fission is essentially cloning. Barring mutations that may have occurred when the genetic material was copied (a process called replication), the two resulting daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.
