Answer:

Inorganic or Mineral Matter.

Explanation:

The mineral matter belongs to one of the physical components of the soil. It is about 45% of total volume of the soil. It contains nutrients like nitrogen, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, iron etc. It holds water  and can also hold air for plant use.

   It serves as the home for soil organisms which may improve plant growth. Soil mineral also form the solid part of the soil, providing support for plants and also prevents leaching in soil erosion and evaporation of soil water.

Cells with a full set of chromosomes are referred to as diploid or 2n, whereas cells with half the chromosomes are haploid or n.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  • Diploid → Prophase, metaphase, and anaphase
  • Haploid → Telophase

Explanation:

During prophase I,  chromosomes get condensed. Each of the chromosomes gets in pair with its homologous one. They do so to make the crossing-over possible, a stage where they interchange their parts → 2n

During metaphase I, each of the homologous pairs is driven to the equatorial plane, where they randomly line up → 2n

During anaphase I, occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair → 2n  

In telophase I, half of the chromosomes are already in one of the poles, while the other half is on the other pole. Each group of chromosomes has now half the number of the original cell. The nuclear membrane forms again in each pole → n

Finally, occurs cytokinesis, which involves the invagination of the cell membrane and cytoplasmic division.

The two new cells are ready for meiosis II.
