Answer:

Meiosis is the process of development of gamates in sexually reproducing organisms. Both males and females use meiosis to produce their gametes. In females the process of meiosis is called oogenesis as it produces oocytes which further develops into ova (eggs)  and in males spermatogenesis takes place to produce sperms. Meiosis takes place in the germ cells of the organism. Meiosis is also known as reduction division as a diploid cell reduce to develop 4 haploid daughter cells. Prophase I is the initial phase of meiosis. This phase has six substages, therefore it requires more time to complete especially in oogenesis.   During prophase I homologous chromosomes pair exchange their DNA this process results in chromosomal crossover. The new combination of DNA in the cross over chromosomes will be a source for genetic variations with production of new combination of allele. In metaphase I homologous pair of chromosome move together along a metaphase plate , microtubules emerge from the spindle and attach at the kinetochores near the centromere of each chromosomes. Microtubule from one side of the spindle attach to one of the chromosome in the homologous pair and that of other side attaches with other chromosome of each pair. Because of microtubules chromosome pair align at the metaphase plate (equator of the cell). The random alignment of chromosome pair at the equator plate will result in different proportion of transfer of genes from maternal and paternal chromosomes. This is the law of independent assortment, hence this will result in genetic diversity in the daughter cells.

) what foods have high levels of iron? look at the food pyramid; items in the meat group generally have a lot of iron.
Elis [28]
Surprisingly chocolate actually contains a fair amount of iron. Red meats are known to contain iron, one thing in particular is blood (yes that is sometimes eaten, and it contains a lot of iron). Such organs of animals that are high in iron include the spleen and or marrow. 

If you wish to go vegetarian red veggies tend to be high in iron, one in particular are beets (yes, i know, they aren't red until processed)

Which hormone is produced by the placenta that stimulates the ovaries to continue producing estrogen and progesterone?
Nataly_w [17]
The hormone produced by the placenta that stimulates the ovaries to continue producing estrogen and progesterone is called the follicle stimulating hormone. This hormone stimulates the ovarian follicle allowing the egg to grow thus producing continuous supply of estrogen and progesterone.
