3. The Sun’s light shines on half of the Earth at a time.
4. The Sun’s solar flares and storms shower the Earth with additional radiation.
5. The Sun’s spots cause cooler areas on the Sun’s surface.

In eukaryotes, genetic information is passed to the next generation by processes that include mitosis or meiosis. which of the explanations identifies the correct process and supports the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another? a. mitosis, followed by cytokinesis, produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, thus insuring variation within the population. b. during mitosis, dna replication occurs twice within the cell cycle to insure a full set of chromosomes within each of the daughter cells produced. c. in asexual reproduction, a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of its genes to its offspring without the fusion of gametes. d. single-celled organisms can fuse their cells, reproducing asexually through mitosis to form new cells that are not identical to the parent cell.

How do tides affect the organisms living in intertidal zones? a. no organisms live in intertidal zones due to the tumultuous environment. b. the mechanical forces of the waves keeps the organisms clean. c. only plants live in intertidal zones because the animals float away with the waves and never return. d. the mechanical forces of the waves can dislodge the organisms from their habitat.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. during the day, plants produce by splitting water molecules in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. at the same time, plants use cellular respiration to produce some of the needed by the light-independent reactions to make sugars. during the night, plants produce because takes place.
