* both daughter cells from the first mitotic division divide forming FOUR monoploid cells, having only one set of chromosomes. MITOSIS vs. MEIOSIS. MITOSIS: 1) growth and asexual reproduction; 2) occurs in all cells (my-toes-ees); 3) daughter cells are identical to parent (same # of chromosomes). MEIOSIS: 1) sexual reproduction; 2) occurs in sex cells (my-oh-sees); 3) daughter cells are different than parent 1/2 # of chromosomes).
This is what keeps the moon in orbit around the earth, and it is also what causes tides to occur in the ocean. The Sun Tide The tides are caused mainly by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the earth, but there is also a gravitational attraction between the earth and the sun. The effect of the sun upon the tides is not as significant as the moonâs effects. Basically, the sunâs pull can heighten the moonâs effects or counteract them, depending on where the moon is in relation to the sun. Source(s): ~Miss Curious~ Â· 7 years ago.
Smaller tides, called neap tides, are formed when the earth, sun and moon form a right angle. This causes the sun and moon to pull the water in two different directions. Neap tides happen during a quarter or three-quarter moon. The width of the shoreline strip that is affected by waves depends on the tidal range.
