Chromosomes attach to spindle fibres by their centromeres during metaphase of mitosis.

Further Explanation:

Interphase is the resting phase or metabolic phase of a cell where it prepares itself for the cell division process. Interphase comprises of sub-phases namely, Gap1 phase, Synthesis phase and Gap2 phase. G1 is the first gap phase where a cell grows larger in size and the cytoplasm volume increases as more organelles are produced. During Synthesis phase, the strands of DNA replicates. G2 is another gap phase in which the cell becomes much larger in size and this phase is followed by mitosis where cell division occurs.

Mitosis or somatic cell division is comprised of four phases which includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. A somatic cell divides to give rise to two identical daughter cells where each cell contains exact copy of each chromosomes present in the parent cell.  In the prophase, the envelope that covers the nucleus and nucleolus disappears and chromosomes become visible by forming two chromatids attached to centromere.

In the metaphase, chromosomes alignment at the metaphase plate occurs and spindle fibres attach to the centromere. Spindle fibres pull the chromatids away from the metaphase plate towards the opposite poles of the cell during anaphase. In the telophase, nuclear membrane reforms, chromosomes decondense and nuclear membrane reforms around each daughter nuclei. The cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division process where the parent cell is pinched off to result in two daughter cells.

4.Metaphase
All of the chromosomes are aligned midway between the spindle poles. A spindle is a dynamic network of microtubules that attaches to and moves chromosomes during nuclear division. Microtubules attach each chromatid to one of the spindle poles, and its sister to the opposite pole.

Answer:

1) B

2) A

3) C

4) C

5) A

6) D

7) A

8) B

9) B

10) A

11) B

12) C

Explanation:

1) This shows that the rock occupies space as what we are looking at here is volume. (The displacement of water) Let's look at each of the options. It doesn't show that matter has mass because there is no mass balance or any equipment to show the heaviness of the rock. The state of matter (options C and D) is not shown here as any matter, which occupies space, when poured or added to an already filled glass will cause the water to spill. Option C says that matter is a solid, which is false as there are many different states of matter, such as solid, liquid and gaseous state. While a rock is a solid, the statement that matters are solid is false.

3) The term space is not commonly used in the study of science, we usually call it volume. This is because 'space' is quite a vague word as it could mean atmospheric space. More precisely, volume is the amount (or measure) of space a matter occupies.

4) Weighing scale measures the amount of mass (or weight) in a body. Options A and D are units of measurement for length while B is used for volume. Recap: volume is the amount of space an object occupies

5) Here, we are differentiating matter from non -matter

Properties that differentiate a matter from a non- matter are mass and volume. Matters have mass and occupies space (have volume).

6) I. Light is not a matter

II. All matter

III. Heat is not a matter. It is the measure of coldness or hotness in a body.

IV. All matter

9) Option C talks about diffusion.

10) An ion is a charged particle. For example, if an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes negatively or positively charged and is now known as an ion.

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together.

12) Atoms are very tiny so centimeters and millimeters would be too big of a unit for measuring them. Gram is a unit of measurement of mass.

<u>☆ Extra:</u>

Mass is the amount of substance in a body while weight is the amount of gravitational force acting on a body.

What Is Ebola? How did it start? How do you spread it?
Grace [21]
Ebola is a deadly virus that tricks the body into damaging its own blood vessels. It originated near the ebola river when some animals probably bit someone or someone went into the river and got the virus inside of them through the nose, mouth, ears, open wounds, or other areas. The only way you can spread it is by getting one's body fluids that is infected with ebola (such as spit, mucus, or other fluids that come from the body), on somebody and the fluid somehow works its way into the body.
