Interphase:
-the cell replicates its chromosomes
-each chromosome has two sister chromatids held together by a centromere
Prophase 1 chromosomes coil up and a spindle forms
-homologous chromosomes come together matched gene by gene forming a tetrad
-Crossing Over may occur when chromatids exchange genetic material
-this occurs two or three times per pair of homologous chromosomes
-Crossing Over results in new combinations of alleles on a chromosomes
Metaphase 1:
-the centromere of each chromosome becomes attached to a spindle fiber
-the spindle fibers pull the tetrads to the equator of the spindle
-homologous chromosomes are lined up side by side as tetrads
Anaphase 1:
-homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell
-centromeres do not split
-this ensures that each new cell will receive only one chromosome from each homologous
pair
Telophase 1:
-the spindle breaks down and the chromosomes uncoil
-the cytoplasm divides to yield two new cells
-each cell has half the genetic information of the original cell because it has only one homologous
chromosome from each pair
Prophase II-
-a spindle forms in each of the two new cells and the fibers attach to the chromosomes
Metaphase II-
-the chromosomes are pulled to the center of the cell and line up randomly at the equator
Anaphase II-
-the centromere of each chromosome splits the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles
Telophase II nuclei re form the spindles break down the cytoplasm divides identical to mitosis (Meiosis II)
What Meiosis produces four haploid sex cells from one original diploid cell each haploid cell contains one chromosome from each homologous pair haploid cells will become gametes transmitting genes to offspring

The larger mass a star has the shorter its life span will be because since it is so large, the more nuclear energy it has to create to keep it up and running. So the smaller the star the longer its life span and vise versa. Hope this helped!
Answer:
The amount of CO2 found in the atmosphere varies over the course of a year. Much of this variation happens because of the role of plants in the carbon cycle. Respiration happens all the time, but dominates during the colder months of the year, resulting in higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere during those months.
Explanation:
The condition of being physically fit and active
Answer:
1. How did the tidal wave affect the predicted frequencies of the alleles in the population?
No changes
2. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?
q= 0.6
Explanation:
If we assume that all individuals were equally likely to be wiped out, that means the frequency/ratio of the gene and genotype of the population will not change. The tidal wave killing 100 out of 200, so it simply makes the population become half of it used to be.
If the population at equilibrium, we can use the Hardy-Weinberg formula to find out the expected frequency of the dominant and recessive alleles. There are 36 homozygous recessives out of 100, so the frequency of the recessive allele will be:
q^2 = 36/100
q= √36/100= 6/10= 0.6
