Answer:

Prophase 1

Explanation:

Prophase I :It can be divided into five stages:

1)Leplotene: In this stage, chromosome becomes visible and shorten as a single structure.

2)Zygotene: Homologous / sister chromosome pair up. This process is known as synapse. Synapse is the process of attachment of homologous /sister chromosome. One pair comes from the male parent while the other comes from the female parent.

3)Pachytene: Bivalents shorten.

4)Diplotene:Point of attachment of non-sister chromatids. The two chromosomes are seen to be joined at several points along their length. These points are known as Chiasmata.(Chiasmata, a cross). The paternal gene A, B, C may swap for the maternal gene a, b, c for instance, leading to a new gene combination in the resulting chromatids. This is referred to as *CROSSING OVER*.

5)Diakenesis: Homologous centromere move apart.

So, crossing over occurs in *Prophase 1.

False

Marine ecosystems like lakes and oceans have aphotic zones. Aphotic zones refer to the zones in the water where there is little or no sunlight. It is found in bodies of water were depths only receive less than 1% of sunlight penetrations. Bioluminescence is essentially the only light found in this zone and most food comes from dead organisms that sink at the bottom of lakes or oceans.

Types of minerals change in heated (First blank) area rock. A record of biological time can be found in (second blank) area rock

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Types of minerals change in heated metamorphic area rock. A record of biological time can be found in sedimentary area rock. Matter changes state from liquid to solid to form igneous area rock

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks can be described as a type of rocks which arise by the phenomenon of metamorphism. Immense heat and pressure changes previous rocks (sedimentary, igneous or other metamorphic rocks) into metamorphic rocks.

Sedimentary rocks can be described as the type of rocks which are made by the deposition of minerals or organic particles and hence, help in evolutionary studies.

Igneous rocks can be described as the rocks which are made from lava or magma (hence changing state from liquid to solid).
