Which of the following correctly describes Metaphase?

1 answer:

8 0

During the metaphase, chromosomes are taken to the equatorial plane, were they randomly line up. Option B. Mitotic spindle attaches to the chromosome's centromeres and lines them up in the middle of the cell.

<h3>What is the metaphase?</h3>

Metaphase is one of the cell division stages that follows the prophase and precedes the anaphase.

During this phase, chromosomes are taken toward the center of the cell by the spindle apparatus. Once in the equatorial plane, chromosomes randomly line up.

Once aligned, each chromatid joins with a microtubule of opposites poles and gets ready to go through the anaphase. Sister chromatids are held together until they reach the Anaphase.

Since chromosomes in this stage are well defined and can be observed in detail under the microscope, they are used to create karyotypes and identify chromosomal abnormalities.

These chromosomes have the typical X shape.

Among the options, the one that correctly describes the metaphase is Option is B. Mitotic spindle attaches to the chromosome's centromeres and lines them up in the middle of the cell.

----- now the simplified answer

the scarlet snake has a very random ( rare ) genetic variation , it mimcs or

( behaves a like or looks like coral snake ) , it turns out that this trait helps the snake high chance of survival, snake with this kind of trait are often likely to reproduce and pass their traits to their children

If the first low tide occurs at 5:10 a.m. on Friday when will the next low tide occur

jonny [76]

The correct answer is - 5:35 PM on Friday.

The low tides, as well as the high tides, occur two times in a lunar day, on exactly every half a lunar day passed. A lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes long, so every next low tide, or high tide, appears after 12 hours and 25 minutes after the previous one. In this situation we have a low tide that has appeared at 5:10 AM on Friday, so in order to calculate when the other low tide will appear we need to add 12 hours and 25 minutes on it, and that will gives the information that the next low tide will appear at 5:35 PM on Friday.

Chlorine in the stratosphere is believed to come primarily from cfcs rather than from natural sources such as volcanoes because:

Andreyy89

he answer is because <span>samples of air taken over erupting volcanoes shows that volcanoes contribute a small amount of chlorine in the stratosphere compared to CFCs. Volcanic eruptions account for a large instability of chlorine from land to the atmosphere on a yearly basis. This is in addition to chlorine that enters the atmosphere from sea spray, industrial processes and biological gases which are from CFCs. All of these inputs happen near or at the base of the atmosphere. Very little of the material emitted from volcanoes makes it up into the upper reaches of our atmosphere which is the stratosphere where it could touch the ozone layer. However, most of it is believed to be deposited lower down which is in the troposphere, where it then rained out back to the surface of the earth.</span>
