The right answer is metaphase II.
The process is performed in two nuclear and cytoplasmic divisions, called first and second meiotic division or simply meiosis I and meiosis II. Both include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. First division prophase is long and consists of 5 stages: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. It is at this point that genetic recombination takes place at the level of chiasmus.
During meiosis I, the members of each homologous pair of chromosomes are paired during prophase, forming bivalents. During this phase, a protein structure, called synaptonemal complex form, allows recombination between homologous chromosomes. Subsequently, a large condensation of the bivalent chromosomes occurs and go to the metaphase plate during the first metaphase, resulting in the migration of n chromosomes to each of the poles during the first anaphase. This reduction division is responsible for maintaining the number of chromosomes characteristic of each species.
In meiosis II, as in mitosis, the sister chromatids comprising each chromosome are separated and distributed between the nuclei of the daughter cells. Between these two successive steps, there is no DNA replication. The maturation of the daughter cells will result in the gametes.
The answer is C) 3/4
Let's analyze separately each of the traits:
Parental generation: AA x Aa
F1 generation: AA AA Aa Aa
So, all progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.
</span>Parental generation: BB x bb
F1 generation: Bb Bb Bb Bb
So, all progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.
</span>
Parental generation: Cc x Cc
<span>F1 generation: CC Cc Cc cc
</span>Only 3 (CC, Cc, Cc) out of 4 progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.
The genotypes for first two traits will not affect </span>phenotypical resemblance to the first parent. So, it only counts the third trait, for which the chance to have progeny that <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent is 3/4.</span>
<span>Like the sporophytes of seed plants, those of ferns consist of stems, leaves androots. Stems: Fern stems are often referred to as "rhizomes", even though they grow underground only in some of the species.</span>
The correct answer is glycolysis.
Glycolysis is an anaerobic process of splitting a molecule of glucose (6 carbons) to 2 molecules of pyruvate (3 carbons each). Glycolysis does not require the presence of oxygen and will still produce energy, albeit lower than aerobic metabolism. In the absence of oxygen, fermentation can occur wherein pyruvate is further converted into lactate.
