<span>This helps slightly immobilize outer surface of membrane and make it less soluble to very small water-soluble molecules that could otherwise pass through more easily in to the body.Without cholesterol,cell membrane would be the too fluid,not firm enough and too permeable to some molecules.</span>

The illustration below shows the steps of meiosis I. What is the step that is labeled D? metaphase I metaphase II telophase II t
WITCHER [35]

The right answer is metaphase II.

The process is performed in two nuclear and cytoplasmic divisions, called first and second meiotic division or simply meiosis I and meiosis II. Both include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. First division prophase is long and consists of 5 stages: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. It is at this point that genetic recombination takes place at the level of chiasmus.

During meiosis I, the members of each homologous pair of chromosomes are paired during prophase, forming bivalents. During this phase, a protein structure, called synaptonemal complex form, allows recombination between homologous chromosomes. Subsequently, a large condensation of the bivalent chromosomes occurs and go to the metaphase plate during the first metaphase, resulting in the migration of n chromosomes to each of the poles during the first anaphase. This reduction division is responsible for maintaining the number of chromosomes characteristic of each species.

In meiosis II, as in mitosis, the sister chromatids comprising each chromosome are separated and distributed between the nuclei of the daughter cells. Between these two successive steps, there is no DNA replication. The maturation of the daughter cells will result in the gametes.

How does natural selection support the theory of evolution?
Volgvan
B
Natural explanation helps to explain why some life forms survive and some do not, and this links to the theory of evolution because the traits favored in natural selection become more dominant until the organism's entire population has evolved to incorporate that change.
