Cytokinesis is the process wherein actual division of the cell, including the cell membrane and the cytoplasm, from the parent cell to two daughter cells. The correct answer in this question is "the metaphase plate is the beginning area for cytokinesis" as the metaphase plate dictates the midpoint of the cell. A cell with a cell wall (plant cell, for example) cannot perform cytokinesis with a cleavage furrow but with a cell plate. Phragmoplast only develops in plant cells. Lastly, cytokinesis only starts after telophase.
Malaria is spread by mosquitoes because females pick up a parasite and when they bite someone to nurture their eggs it spreads
Answer:
(a) crossing over: Meiosis I, Recombination
(b) chromatids separate at their centromeres and migrate to opposite poles: Meiosis II, Anaphase II
(c) chromosomes become aligned in pairs at the equator: Meiosis II, Metaphase II
Explanation:
Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis (formation of ovum and sperm cells). The paired chromosomes of the male and female parents are aligned so that similar DNA sequences intersect. This crossing over produces an exchange of genetic material, which is an important cause of the genetic variability observed in the offspring.
Meiosis II: Anaphase II. The centromeres separate and the daughter chromatids - now individual chromosomes - move to the opposite poles of the cell. The centromeres separate, and the two chromatids of each chromosome move toward the opposite poles in the spindle.
Meiosis II: Metaphase II. Chromosomes are accommodated in the equatorial plate of metaphase, similar to what happens in mitosis. They are attached to the already fully formed meiotic spindle. Each chromosome is aligned in the equatorial plate of the metaphase, as it happens in mitosis.
