Which of the following correctly describes the two phases of the cell cycle? A. Cells grow and develop during interphase. Cells reproduce during the mitotic phase.
B. Cells grow and develop during the mitotic phase. Cells reproduce during the interphase.
C. The nucleus of a cell divides during interphase. The cytoplasm of a cell divides during mitotic phase.
D. The nucleus of a cell divides during mitotic phase. The cytoplasm of a cell divides during interphase.

the answer is A

Explanation:

Cell cycle refers to the series of processes that leads to the growth/development and division of a cell. The cell cycle uses MITOSIS for cell growth. Mitosis comprises of two distinct stages namely: INTERPHASE AND MITOTIC PHASE. The interphase is referred to as the resting phase of the cell in which the cell grows and develops.

On the other hand, MITOTIC PHASE is the stage where the actual division of the nucleus (karyokinesis) and cytoplasm (cytokinesis) generally called CELL DIVISION occurs. Therefore, the cell reproduces i.e. one cell forming two, in the mitotic phase.

Presure release.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is the process through which large rocks are broken into increasingly smaller pieces. Sometimes referred to as physical weathering, the process normally happens near the Earth’s surface.

Likewise,mechanical weathering us also caused when the overlying boulders are stripped by abrasion and other erosion mechanisms, they cause the underlying rocks parallel to the surface to crack, fracture, and expand. Consequently, the underlying rocks release the pressure in them.

As time passes, sheets of rock peel away from the stripped rocks and disintegrate into smaller fragments along the fractures. The process is known as exfoliation. It occurs when rocks parallel to the land surface break up as a result of the pressure release during abrasion, rock uplifts, or retreat of an overlying glacier.
