Which of the following is a correct statement?
a. gametes are formed by meiosis and are haploid, while body cells are formed by mitosis and are diploid.
b. gametes are formed by mitosis and are haploid, while body cells are formed by meiosis and are diploid.
c. gametes are formed by meiosis and are diploid, while body cells are formed by mitosis and are haploid.
d. gametes are formed by mitosis and are diploid, while body cells are formed by meiosis and are haploid.

A. Gametes are formed by meiosis and are haploid, while body cells are formed by mitosis and are diploid.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces four haploid daughter cells (gametes) from one cell, while mitosis produces two diploid daughter cells (i.e., somatic cells). In both cases, the DNA is replicated during interphase of the cell cycle

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)
