Q: Mitosis and meiosis are both forms of division of the nucleus in these? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Comparing Meiosis and Mitosis Mitosis and meiosis are both forms of division of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. They share some similarities, but also exhibit distinct differences that lead to very different outcomes (Figure 11.7). Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new 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 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. Choices: - converts cells - endogenous cells - reproduction cells - eukaryotic cells A:
eukaryotic cells

Q: How many digits do primates have on each extremity? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Primates have five digits (fingers or toes) on each extremity. Unlike the hooves of horses or the paddles of whales, the digits of primates are relatively unspecialized. Therefore, they can be used to do a variety of tasks, including grasping branches and holding tools. Choices: - ten - four - three - five A:
five

Q: Q: Females of what mammalian group have mammary glands but lack nipples? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Monotreme eggs have a leathery shell, like the eggs of reptiles. The eggs are retained inside the mother's body for at least a couple of weeks. During that time, the mother provides the eggs with nutrients. Platypus females lay their eggs in a burrow. Echidna females have a pouch in which they store their eggs. Female monotremes have mammary glands but lack nipples. Instead, they "sweat" milk from a patch on their belly. Choices: - prosauropod - Eutheria - Metatheria - monotreme A:
A: monotreme

Question: Q: Much of what type of radiation that strikes the planet is reflected back into space? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Choices: - magentic radiation - gamma rays - microwaves - solar radiation A:
Answer: solar radiation

Q: What basic structures are called the building blocks of life and comprise all living things? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Cells may be small in size, but they are extremely important to life. Like all other living things, you are made of cells. Cells are the basis of life, and without cells, life as we know it would not exist. You will learn more about these amazing building blocks of life when you read this chapter. Choices: - pigments - seeds - lipids - cells A:
**Answer**
cells

The needed amounts generally can be met with balanced eating. However, people who do not eat enough of the right foods may need vitamin or mineral supplements. Choices: - flavor - antioxidants - enzymes - energy A:
