By surviving five mass extinctions, these fish have adapted to many changes (Shark Savers). With the existence of more than 450 species, these apex predators can reside at different latitudes, depths, and salinity levels. Most inhabit in tropical and temperate oceanic waters, where some have the adaptability to enter…

Mitosis is a process of cellular division. What happens though when Mitosis (process of cellular division) goes wrong? You can get a disease from Mitosis going wrong, some very bad ones too. A widely known disease caused by cellular division going wrong is Cancer and Tumors. (1)Disrupted passage through mitosis often leads to chromosome missegregation and the production of aneuploidy progeny. Aneuploidy has long been seen as a frequent characteristic of cancer cells. Also Aneuploidy has been…
