If there are 10 chromosomes in a particular cell at the start of prophase how many will be present in the same cell at the end o
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

20 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It involves stages including Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. In prophase, the Chromatin condenses into Chromosomes.

In Anaphase stage, the 10 chromosomes as mentioned in the question divides into opposite poles of the cell. One individual chromosome contains two sister chromatids, which actually separates in the Anaphase stage. Hence, at the end of the Anaphase stage, there will be 10 chromatids each at opposite poles of the cell. Each chromatid at this stage is considered a chromosome.

Hence, a cell with 10 chromosomes will contain 20 chromosomes (10+10 chromatids on each pole) in the Anaphase stage just before the cell divides into two in a process called CYTOKINESIS.

Explain how the wind may be involved in the formation of sandstone arches.
WITCHER [35]

Answer

Wind may be involved in the formation of sandstone arches by facilitating erosion which wore away exposed sections of rocks and enlarges the cracks on the surface forming marrow sandstone fins.

Explanation

Sandstone arches can be formed when a large piece of sandstone flaked off as a result of high winds. In addition to that, alternative frost and thawing can result into crumbling of porous sandstone which will in the long run cut through some fins. These resulting holes enlarge to form arches with effects of weathering and rock fall caused by wind.
