Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.
Korvikt [17]

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.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, cerebellum.

Explanation:

Alcohol acts as a CNS depressant. When more amount of alcohol is taken and the levels of alcohol rise within the body, some sections of the brain get influenced and a reduction in the functioning is witnessed in that particular part.  

The region of the brain accountable for coordinating movement and also some kinds of learning seems to be sensitive specifically to the consumption of alcohol. Thus, cerebellum is the part of the brain, which gets most affected due to the consumption of alcohol. Therefore, test is performed to witness the balance of an individual, as cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for appropriate posture and balance.
