Hi there!

Meiosis is a type of reproduction where two divisions occur. It is when gametes, sex cells, divide. In prophase of meiosis, it is similar to that of mitosis, as in the spindle fibers develop as well as centrioles. First, homologous (pairs) of chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. Next, spindle fibers pull the pairs apart, leaving one chromosome of each pair on each side. Then, the nuclear material divides as the spindle fibers and centrioles go away. Lastly, the cytoplasm divides, leaving two cells. Meiosis two starts out with prophase again. In prophase, the DNA condenses and forms short chromosomes as well as spindle fibers and centrioles developing. Next, the chromosomes (there is only one chromosome, made up of two sister chromatids) line up in the center of the cell. Next, the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes apart, pulling one chromatid to each side of the cell. Then, the nuclear material divides and the spindle fibers and centrioles disappear. Lastly, the cytoplasm divides, leaving four cell in total.

Hope this helps!! :)

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Charge us

Sell the info

Explanation:

They can first charge individuals to use the services. For example, similar to 23andme or Ancestry, who provide a service of telling you interesting things related to your health or ethnicity.

They could also sell that data to pharmaceutical companies or other research groups who can use the DNA information for research. The more samples of DNA we have sequenced, the more information scientists have to work with and design drugs and more.
