China’s exports are produced by foreign-invested companies. China is extremely dependent on the FDI‚ because there are very few large private firms and overseas investments. Firms consist of 14 to 25 employees on average. If a crisis occurs‚ “China’s economic weight would become a liability. The IMF estimates that the impact of Chinese demand on the world’s largest economies has more than doubled over the past decade”1. But the Chinese model has its limits‚ and that has far- reaching consequences for

1. Describe what is happening during DNA replication. Make sure you include which proteins are involved and what they are doing during replication. DNA replication is semi-conservative. It occurs in “origin of replication” to form DNA ligase. In order for DNA to replicate it needs to follow a couple of steps. First: The parental strand divides in 2 separate strands; the helicase unwinds by cutting hydrogen bonds. Then‚ each strand is a template that attracts and binds complementary nucleotides

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cell division. Cell division is the reproduction of cells‚ and requires the duplication of chromosomes. Mitosis takes place when the nucleus divides. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid gametes in diploid organisms. Mitosis and meiosis are two very different processes. While meiosis only requires the cell to divide twice‚ the cell only divides once during mitosis. This causes meiosis to produce four cells and mitosis to produce two cells

Between meiosis and mitosis there are many unique similarities and differences such that mitosis has four stages and meiosis has eight. Or a similarity where they both have no new gene combination when each of the cells splits after each of their processes. Many more of these similarities and differences will be explained throughout the text. Many similarities occur between meiosis and mitosis such that each process‚ after it has been gone through‚ result in no new gene combination. Each new cell
