Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A.

Explanation:

During anaphase, the spindle microtubules help the segregation of the chromosomes from the center of the cell at the metaphase plate.

These microtubules get attached to the chromosomes at kinetochore which helps in pulling of the chromosomes to opposite poles.  The microtubules pull apart the sister chromatids when cohesin proteins degenerate.

The chromosomes do not show jiggling movement at the metaphase plate and thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Answer:

The photosynthetic organisms of the water can survive at a depth of 100 meters due to the presence of blue light.

Explanation:

There are two colors which are responsible for the process of photosynthesis. These two colors are red and blue. Red and blue light of solar radiation is absorbed and green light is reflected back by the green pigment called chlorophyll. So in the depth of 100 meters in the water, blue light is present so plants can make their own food during photosynthesis.
