Construct the correct sequence of events for meiosis I, starting at the top.
anzhelika [568]

The sequence of events in meiosis I is first 'chromosomes condense and crossing over occurs', second 'paired homologues align at the equator', third 'chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles', fourth 'separated homologues cluster at each pole' and fifth 'nuclear envelope re-forms around each daughter nucleus'.

Meiosis is a reductional cell division by which a parent cell produces four daughter cells with half of the genetic material.

Meiosis can be divided into meiosis I and meiosis II.

During prophase I (meiosis I),

  • Chromosomes condense
  • Begins the formation of the spindle apparatus from cytoskeleton present in the cytoplasm
  • The homo-logous chromosomes pair and crossing over occurs. Crossing over refers to the interchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids.

During metaphase I,

  • The homo-logous chromosomes align at the equator plate of the cell
  • The microtubules attach to the kinetochores of sister chromatids

During anaphase I,

  • The microtubules shorten
  • The chiasmata, which link homo-logous chromosomes together until anaphase I, are broken
  • The homo-logous chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles, thereby, one chromosome of each pair randomly moves to one pole of the cell and the homologous chromosome to the other.

During telophase I,

  • The separated homologous chromosomes cluster at each pole of the new cells
  • The nuclear envelope is formed around each cell nucleus.

Joint and bone pain, fever, weight loss, fatigue, weakness, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and enlarged lymph glands are typical sym
kvasek [131]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

White blood cells cannot function properly and their reduced production can lead to fever and frequent infections. This is because the function of white blood cells in fighting germs has been disrupted.

Other signs and symptoms:

- Weak and tired.

- Lack of appetite and weight loss.

- Swelling and bleeding gums.

- Headache.

- Abdominal swelling is caused by enlargement of the liver and lymph.

- Bone pain, can cause weakness.

Joint pain.

- The glands are swollen. If the glands in the neck and chest are swollen, it can cause blood flow to be blocked. This causes the face to swell, difficulty breathing and snoring.

The form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two genetically identical cells is Select one: a. binary fission. b. meiosis.
Vika [28.1K]

The form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two genetically identical cells is mitotic division.

<h3>WHAT IS MITOSIS?</h3>

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to one another.

Mitosis is employed by virtually all cells for replication purpose i.e. to produce more copies of the same type of cell.

Therefore, the form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two genetically identical cells is mitotic division.

Meiosis differs from mitosis in the __________. a. way in which sister chromatids separate b. number of cells produced immediate
densk [106]
Meiosis differs from mitosis in the number of chromosomes in each ending cell. In addition, one of the purposes of meiosis is to reduce the chromosome number in each cell by half and meiosis contains two rounds of division which is meiosis I and meiosis II and ends with four gametes that are not the same genetically.
