Answer: The blanks can be correctly filled up with prophase I and metaphase II.

Explanation:

In females, finite number of oocytes are present since birth. The process of oogenesis initiate in embryonic stage only. However, oogonia divide and mature to form primary oocytes. These primary oocytes start meiotic division but arrest in prophase I stage before birth.

After a girl attains puberty, one primary oocyte resumes its division each month during a menstrual cycle. The primary oocyte divides to form secondary oocyte and polar body.

Polar bodies degenerate after completing meiosis II. However, secondary oocyte halts its division again at metaphase II until fertilization takes place. Once fertilization takes place it completes its meiosis II and results into mature ovum and polar body.

Plants use sunlight to convert nutrients into energy. What form of energy transfer is taking place?

Fudgin [204]

Plants converts solar energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis . The electron and proton from the water molecules are used to produce energy transport molecules i.e ATP and NADPH, in the light reaction phase of photosynthesis. The energy of the sun excites the chlorophyll molecule which in turn release high energy electron. The energy of ATP and NADPH is further used to fix the carbon in the Kelvin cycle.

What enzymatic features of DNA polymerase prevent it from replicating one of the DNA strands at the ends of linear chromosomes

tatyana61 [14]

DNA polymerase is an enzyme with a specific active site complementary to the 3' OH end of the DNA strand in terms of charge, size, orientation and shape thus can only bind to 3' end and cannot bind to 5' end for replication to occur
