Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

A Facet joint is a synovial joint present between the inferior articular process of one vertebra to the superior articular process of another vertebra.

The facet joints form articular pillars which provide the structural stability and can have different orientation depending on the plane or angle they form.

1. When the articulating facets lie parallel to the frontal plane and form 45° angle to the transverse plane then it allows all the movements in the cervical spine.

2.  When the articulating facets 20° to the frontal plane and 60° to the transverse plane then it allows the lateral flexion and rotation in the thoracic spine region.

3. When the articulating facets form 45° to the frontal plane and they are at right angles to the transverse plane then it allows only flexion and extension in the lumbar region.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Which of the following best describes what happens to a cell's genetic material during the process of meiosis II?
balandron [24]

Answer:The answer is option A sister chromatids are separated from each other to form gametes.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a  type of cell division which produces 4 daughter cells with different genetic material. The ploidy number or set of chromosomes is reduced to half in the newly formed daughter cells.This process usually proceeds in two divisions-meiosis I and meiosis II with four stages in each division which are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.Sister chromatids separate from each other during anaphase II of meiosis II which produces four haploid gametes from two intermediate cells formed by meiosis I.Thus, sister chromatids are separated from each other to form gametes is the correct answer.
