Explanation:

During the process of prophase I, the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on sister chromatids are aligned precisely.

The syanapsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved to 23 chromosomes (haploid number)through meiotic divisions, producing 4 haploid (n) germ cells or gametes (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

In Meiosis I

homologs pair off into bivalents
At crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined in prophase I forming bivalents; tetrads are formed.
Spindle fibers from centrioles join sister chromatids together at their centromeres in metaphase I, pulling them to the equator of the cell;
then, in anaphase I, while joined, they are pulled to opposite sides of the cell; the cell body splits and the nuclear envelope reforms in telophase I

In Meiosis II...

Later, in prophase II, the nuclear envelope disintegrates and mitotic spindle fibers are formed
independent assortment occurs. in metaphase II of meiosis: spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromatids align independently at the equator. Genes segregate independently into new combinations as sister chromatids are pulled apart by their centromeres in anaphase II
in telophase II the cells' nuclei and membrane are then formed with each containing the haploid number (n)
Following the formation of gametes in the last stage, randomized fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes

Explanation: Catabolic reactions are exothermic meaning they release alot of energy and electrons, whereas anabolic reactions are endothermic using up alot of energy for production and storage. Breaking down glucose to produce ATP is an example of a catabolic reaction. Using fatty acids and lipids to make adipose tissues is an example of an anabolic reaction, breaking down adipocytes for production of heat and ketone bodies is catabolic.

Shtirlitz [24]

The correct answer is predatory birds.

The flowing of toxic chemicals and heavy metals into the water body when the agricultural, industrial, and human wastes run off or are discharged intentionally into the water body is known as biomagnification. These pollutants result in genetic mutations, disease, reproductive difficulties, birth defects, death, and behavioral modifications in various marine species.

However, the extremity of the destruction varies significantly among the species. In various circumstances, the animals close to the top of the food chain are most influenced by the procedure of biomagnification.

Several of the harmful toxins get settle at the lower level in a water body and are then consumed by the species, which feed or live on the bottom dwellers. As these constituents are not digested, they gathered inside the bodies of the species, which consumes them.

It signifies that the higher level predators, like fish, birds, or marine mammals accumulate more harmful concentrations of toxic substances in comparison to the animals lower on the food chain. Thus, in the given case, the more concentrated amount of toxins would be found in the predatory birds.
