Answer:

E. By presence of paired homologous chromosomes in the meiotic cell.

Explanation:

Differences between Mitotic Prophase and Prophase 1 of Meiosis:

  • The prophase of mitosis is relatively shorter than prophase 1 of meiosis.
  • Prophase of mitosis is characterized by the disintegration of the nuclear membrane and the movement of the duplicated centrioles towards the two poles of the cell.
  • Prophase 1 of meiosis is relatively longer and involves a number of consecutive events that do not occur in the mitotic prophase.
  • Prophase 1 of meiosis involves the disintegration of the nuclear membrane as well. But the most important event of this phase is the pairing of homologous chromosomes through a connection called a synapse. This is called chiasmata formation. Homologous chromosomes pair up in form of tetrads and exchange segments with each other. This process is called crossing over and it is crucial in the production of genetically varied daughter cells.

Explain why hydrogen atom can become either an ion or part of a molecule.
saveliy_v [14]
It can become an ion because it can lose or gain an electron. It can become a part of molecule because it can form covalent bond with other atoms to gain a full valence shell.

Which statements accurately describe polyps? Check all that apply. They are vase shaped. They are free swimming. They have a hol
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be

  • They are vase-shaped
  • Their tentacles trail down from their mouth.

Coral polyps are small, soft-bodied organisms mainly belong to the phylum Cnidaria.

They have a vase-shaped body that is, their body is cylindrical in shape which is elongated at the axis.

They remain attached to the rocks present on the floor of the sea.

They have tentacles which help in capturing the food.

The tentacles surround the mouth which opens into a central cavity filled with fluid.

They can reproduce sexually as well as asexually.

From which of the following does the right atrium receive blood?
olga2289 [7]

The right atrium receives blood returning from others parts of the body through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava.  

Explanation:

The pathway of circulation begins in the right atrium which receives the carbon dioxide-rich deoxygenated blood returning through the systemic circulation.  

The deoxygenated blood from regions superior to the heart, i.e., the head, neck, shoulder areas are collected through the superior vena cava and that from the parts inferior or lower to the heart like visceral organs, extremities, trunk, hip etc are brought through the inferior vena cava.

Both these venous systems (superior and inferior) fill the right atrium.

The right atrium then pumps the deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve.

The right atrium is filled with blood during diastole.

What holds non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes together in prophase i of meiosis?
inysia [295]

The correct answer is: The synaptonemal complex.

Non-sister chromatids are chromatids from two homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis two homologous chromosomes pair and this pairing is called synapsis. This allows possible crossing over to occur. Two non-sister chromatids are connected in synapsis by a protein-RNA complex called the synaptonemal complex.

Crossing-over or the physical exchange of chromosome parts might occur and bring to genetic recombination. The sites of crossing-over between nonsister chromatids and are called chiasmata.
