Answer:

The plate will continue to move apart and the distance between two opposite sides will continue to increase very slowly.

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonic also talks about how divergent boundaries occur. Divergence boundary usually occur between continental-continental plate or oceanic-oceanic plate.

According to the theory of plate tectonic, the opposite sides in a divergent boundary will continue to move apart from each other. The moving apart from each other creates a room for the introduction of molten magma to the surface of the earth. This magma after exposure to the earth surface, solidifies to form a new crust. The magma can be introduce through the mid oceanic ridge . Closer to the mid oceanic ridge much younger rocks are formed . As one move farther way from the mid oceanic ridges the rocks become older.

Generally, between two continents of opposite side the continents will continue moving apart  from each other and the distance between them will continue to increase creating a space for magma to migrate to the surface of the earth . New crust are formed in the process.

The picture above illustrate diverging boundary with the mid oceanic ridges.

Explanation:

During the process of prophase I, the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on sister chromatids are aligned precisely.

The syanapsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved to 23 chromosomes (haploid number)through meiotic divisions, producing 4 haploid (n) germ cells or gametes (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

In Meiosis I

  • homologs pair off into bivalents
  • At crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined in prophase I  forming bivalents; tetrads are formed.
  • Spindle fibers from centrioles join sister chromatids together at their centromeres in metaphase I, pulling them to the equator of the cell;
  • then, in anaphase I, while joined, they are pulled to opposite sides of the cell; the cell body splits and the nuclear envelope reforms in telophase I

In Meiosis II...

  • Later, in prophase II, the nuclear envelope disintegrates and mitotic spindle fibers are formed
  • independent assortment occurs. in metaphase II of meiosis: spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromatids align independently at the equator. Genes segregate independently into new combinations as sister chromatids are pulled apart by their centromeres in anaphase II
  • in telophase II the cells' nuclei and membrane are then formed with each containing the haploid number (n)
  • Following the formation of gametes in the last stage, randomized fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes
