What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

• Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four non-identical daughter cells.

• Mitosis results in four identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in two non-identical daughter cells.

• Mitosis and meiosis both result in two identical daughter cells.

• Mitosis and meiosis both result in four non-identical daughter cells.

Explain the process of natural selection in ecology.

• Natural selection is the process of random mutations occurring in a population.

• Natural selection is the process by which certain traits or characteristics become more or less common in a population over time.

• Natural selection is the process of humans selecting which traits or characteristics they want in a population.

• Natural selection is the process of individuals choosing their own traits or characteristics.

Explain the concept of food chains in an ecosystem.

• Food chains in an ecosystem represent the competition between different species for resources.

• Food chains in an ecosystem represent the hierarchy of organisms based on their size.

• Food chains in an ecosystem represent the migration patterns of animals.

• Food chains in an ecosystem represent the flow of energy and nutrients from one organism to another.

How does DNA determine the traits of an organism?

• DNA determines the traits of an organism through the interaction with the environment.

• DNA determines the traits of an organism through random mutations.

• DNA determines the traits of an organism through the influence of the organism's diet.

• DNA contains the genetic information that codes for the production of proteins, which determine the traits of an organism.
