The word “coccus” has a couple of different meanings in biology<span>, but it most commonly refers to a type of bacteria that is spherical or slightly oval in shape. In this application, the plural term used to describe entire bacterial chains or infections is </span>cocci<span>, whereas a single coccus </span>bacterium<span> is called a </span>monococcus<span>. There are many different strains and species in this broad family. Some benefit life, either by helping keep cell balance or warding off other infections, while others can be quite harmful. In most cases the shape of the bacteria is useful for classification and evolutionary purposes but doesn’t say much about how it will perform or what it does. The bacteria’s individual coding and composition more commonly dictate these things.</span>

Answer:

a Anaphase I

b Metaphase I

c Telophase I

d Anaphase II

e Prophase I

f Telophase II

Explanation:

Prophase I begins after the DNA has been duplicated, as shown in picture e. The chromosomes are condensed, and also visible, which is apparent in picture e.

The next stage is called Metaphase I, in which the pairs of homologous chromosomes align at The the centre of the cell and the spindle fibres attach, as shown in picture b.

The pairs of chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibres., as shown in picture a. This stage is called Anaphase I.

Then, a process called Telophase I occurs, when the cell divides into two daughter cells. One of these cells is shown in picture c.

Picture d shows the stage Anaphase II, where the spindle has attached and the chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles of the cell.

The final picture left is picture f, which shows the daughter cell at the end of meiosis II, where the nuclear envelope is reforming, as in telophase II.
