Answer:

The correct answer is "to control the crossing of the traits to maintain a pure strain".

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is considered the father of genetics for his studies of  inheritance in pea plants. Mendel studied how the pea plant's traits are transferred trough generations by cross-pollination. However, in nature pea plants are usually reproduced by self-pollination at which the progeny is produced by a single plant. Mendel prevented his plants from self-pollinating to control the crossing of the traits to maintain a pure strain. By doing so, Mendel assured that the only reproducing method that he was studying was cross-pollination.

In mitosis, when do the sister chromatids align with centrosomes in the cells?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The answer is probably B. Metaphase

Explanation:

In mitosis, the sister chromatids align in the "center" of the cell as the centrosomes are at the poles of the cell. They do this, moving on to the next phase Anaphase - where they will eventually split. Interphase isn't part of mitosis - it describes the period in which the cell is just growing and copying DNA.  If you textbook says it is, then thats ok, sometimes its included as part of it (even though technically its not).
