Answer:

Stephen is not his biological father.

Explanation:

DNA fingerprinting is a technique use to determine the DNA sequence of an individual organism. Short tandem repeats are unique among the individuals ans used to identify the individual in population.

The George DNA fingerprinting shows that he has STRs length of 6 and 7. Stephen's STRs does not match with his son George whereas Mary shows some similarities with George STRs. This indicates that Stephen is not the biological father of George because the biological father's STRs must match with the children STRs.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Answer:

In the first step of meiosis I, the chromosomes/genetic material of the cell condenses into a visible form, into a form called heterochromatin. The nucleolus also disappears.

In the second step, a process called synapsis occurs. This is when homologous chromosomes align themselves, gene by gene.

In the third step, crossing over occurs. Segments of corresponding DNA are cut and exchanged between non-sister chromatids of the formed tetrads.

In the fourth step, the nucleus fragments, the nuclear envelope fragments, the two centrosomes (if we're talking about an animal cell) separate from each other as their asters and mitotic spindles (mostly microtubules (kinetochore and non-kinetochore) lengthen. The microtubules extending from the centrosomes can now connect to chromosomes.

The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle.

A chromosome is a lengthy DNA molecule with component or all of the genetic material of an organism. In maximum chromosomes the very lengthy skinny DNA fibers are lined with packaging proteins; in eukaryotic cells the maximum vital of those proteins are the histones. These proteins, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to keep its integrity. These chromosomes show a complicated third-dimensional structure, which performs a large position in transcriptional regulation.

Chromosomes are generally seen below a mild microscope best for the duration of the metaphase of molecular division.
