* 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.
In most places, the oceans rise and fall every 12 hours and 26 minutes. These two daily âhigh tidesâ are caused by the gravity of the Moon, and also to a lesser degree by that of the Sun. One of the two high tides is usually greater than the other. Here's why. The Moon's gravity pulls the oceans on the side of the Earth nearer to it more than it pulls the Earth itself, causing a bulge of water.
