Answer:

E) sister chromatids separate during anaphase of meiosis I.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are composed of two chromatids which are joined together through centromere. Chromosomes get doubled its chromatids during its S phase of Interphase. Although chromosomes number remains the same as after S phase but number of chromatids becomes double.

For Example:

In humans 46 chromosomes are present before S phase and 46 chromosomes after S phase. only difference is that chromatids before S phase is 46 in number while after S phase it becomes double i.e becomes 92.

During Prophase 1 of Meiosis 1 these 46 chromosomes with 92 chromatids get arranged in  manner that homologous chromosome pair comes close together and form 23 pairs.

During Metaphase 1: These 23 pairs get arranged in center and attached with spindle fiber present inside cells. Each spindle fiber attach to one member of the pair in a manner that 23 spindle fibers from one side of pole attached to one member of homologous chromosome pairs and 23 spindle fibers from other side of pole attached to other member of homologous chromosome pairs.

In Anaphase 1 of Meiosis 1 these spindle fibers get contracted and pulled attached chromosome along with them towards opposite poles. In this manner chromosome numbers in Meiosis become half as compared to the Mitosis

So Correct Answer of the question is

E. sister chromatids separate during anaphase of meiosis I.

How secretion and excretion both are different? Explain in simple language.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Excretion is the removal of material from one living thing, for example. Humans excrete tears, sweat, carbon dioxide etc.

Secretion is the movement of material from one point to another, for example.  Humans secrete enzymes, hormones, saliva etc.

Basically in summary excretion is the removal of physical material and secretion is the movement of biological materials from one point to another.


I hope this was clear enough lol

Explain how organisms changes within an environment affect their survival. Specifically discuss the effects of a gene mutation f
maw [93]
<span>Animals gradually adapt to changes within their environment over time. This gives them a better chance of surviving rather than going extinct because of the change. Say there is a gene mutation affecting color within a population of beetles in a rain-forest. All of the beetles used to be red, but now a few of them have experienced a gene mutation and are green. Because they live in a rain-forest, it is likely that the green beetles would blend in with their surroundings far better than the original red beetles, and those red beetles would be wiped out by predators because they are easier to spot. The green beetles would live on and flourish, and their population would increase. Soon there would be few or none red beetles, and many green beetles.</span>
