What is mitosis and how does it differ from meiosis?

• Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single eukaryotic cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. It involves one division and results in two diploid cells.
• Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing four non-identical haploid cells (gametes). It consists of two rounds of division: meiosis I and meiosis II.

What are the main differences between arteries and veins?

• Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart (except for the pulmonary artery). They have thick, muscular walls to withstand high pressure from the heart's pumping action.
• Veins carry deoxygenated blood toward the heart (except for the pulmonary veins). They have thinner walls and contain valves to prevent backflow of blood, as the pressure in veins is much lower than in arteries.

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 2 m/s² . How long will it take to reach a speed of 30 m/s?

Use the equation of motion:

v=u+atv = u + at

where:

• v=30m/s (final velocity_)
• u= 0m/s (initial velicity)
• a=2m/s² (acceleration)

Substitute the values: 

30=0+2t 

t=30/2=15 seconds

What are the types of muscle tissue in the human body?

• Skeletal muscle: Voluntary muscle tissue that is attached to bones and helps in movement. It is striated and multi-nucleated.
• Cardiac muscle: Involuntary muscle tissue found in the heart. It is striated and has intercalated discs, allowing coordinated contraction.
• Smooth muscle: Involuntary muscle tissue found in walls of internal organs like the intestines, blood vessels, and bladder. It is non-striated and controls the movement of substances through organs.
