Answer:

In organisms during cell division, DNA is present in packaged structure called "chromosomes" with a constriction point called the centromere giving X-shape to the chromosomes. This forms a complete set of chromosome.The number of chromosomes present in the nucleus of the cell is known as ploidy number represented by "n".

Based on the number of chromosomes, cell is usually divided into: Haploid cell and diploid cell.

Haploid cells (n): are the cells with only one complete set or chromosomes like gamete cells while

Diploid cells (2n): are the cells with 2 sets or pair of chromosomes like somatic cells.

ANSWER:

<u><em>The source of sunlight is the main source of energy and if there will be more sea weed trapping sunlight then there will be a competition between seaweed and coral reef.

In which stage of meiosis do homologous chromosomes separate?
Leno4ka [110]
Meiosis is divided into two stages. Homologous chromosomes align at the metaphase plate during Metaphase I, which is followed by Anaphase I, where they then separate to opposite poles.
