Answer:

Two homologous chromosomes paired together, each of which has two sister chromatids.

Explanation:

Zygotene stage of prophase I of meiosis I is characterized by the pairing of homologous chromosomes with help of synaptonemal complex. Since DNA replication has occurred in S phase, each chromosome in the pair contains two sister chromatids.  

So, the chromosome pair appears to have a total of four chromatids and the structure is termed as "tetrad".

What is the purpose of the menisci found in your knee, jaw, shoulders, and wrists? Why might there be a meniscus there but not,
Blababa [14]

Answer: I believe Meniscus tears are not healed on their own.

Explanation:

Because the two most common causes of a meniscus tear are due to traumatic injury (often seen in athletes) and degenerative processes (seen in older patients who have more fragile cartilage). The most common mechanism of a traumatic meniscus tear occurs when the knee joint is flexed and the knee is then twisted.  The meniscus tear can only be surgically removed. However, in some cases people can live with the meniscus tear without any problem. Also, there are exercises that lessen the symptoms of this problem. The most common symptoms of a meniscus tear are: Knee pain, Knee swelling, Tenderness when pressing the meniscus, Popping or clicking inside the knee, Limited knee joint movement.

Greg and Andrea are trying to find out how long it takes amylase, a digestive enzyme found in saliva, to break down a sample of
enyata [817]
The answer is: the amount of the saliva samples must stay consistent while the amount of starch must vary.

The amount of the saliva samples must stay consistent because amylase, present in the saliva, is the independent variable which affects the dependent variable - the amount of starch. So, amylase will do its job while remaining surface area of the starch will depend on the starting amount of the starch.
