The answer is 8 (anaphase 1), 8 (anaphase 2), 4 (metaphase 2).

Meiosis is a cell division which results in a reduction of the number of chromosomes in half and it consists of meiosis I and meiosis II.
Before meiosis I begins, the cell is diploid (2n) and there are 8 chromosomes. In anaphase I<span>, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells, and after that, there are 8 chromosomes and 16 chromatids. After telophase I, there are, however, <u>4 chromosomes that enter meiosis II</u>.
</span>
Meiosis II is similar to mitosis. So, in metaphase II there is the same number of chromosomes - 4 chromosomes. But, the chromosome number must double so in anaphase II there will be in total 8 chromosomes - 4 chromosomes at the one side of the cell and the 4 on the other side. After telophase II, there are 4 chromosomes.

blsea [12.9K]
The clear protein of an egg become opaque and firm when cooked because the heat CHANGES THE PROTEIN STRUCTURE BY DENATURING THE PROTEIN.
Each enzymes has its own range of temperature at which it remains active, when this temperature is exceeded the protein becomes denatured and loses its three dimensional structure which determines its functions.

Similarities and differences between alga phyla?
ololo11 [35]
All organisms are grouped into five kingdoms. Those are Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The division is made based on 3 criteria. Those are cellular organization, arrangement of cells, and type of nutrition. Cellular organization is whether they are eukaryotic or prokaryotic. Cell arrangement is whether they are unicellular, multicellular, with or without true tissue differentiation etc. Type of nutrition is whether they are autotrophic or heterotrophic. Kingdom Protoctista includes algae, protozoans, oomycota and slime moulds.

The molecular clock has limited usefulness for estimating divergence times among species in part due to the saturation of DNA se
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>In highly diverged lineages, the substitutions process will occur at sites that have been substituted previously</em>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molecular clock uses the mutation rate to reduce the time in prehistory when the life forms are diverged. <em>The molecular clock uses the sequence of amino acids and nucleotide sequence for the DNA.</em>  

This clock does not measure any time but the number of mutations, and other changes over certain time.  <em>Sometimes its useful property might be limited due to the highly diverged lineages.</em>
