The first word in the two-word scientific name of a species represents the genus.

The genus is the first word or first part in the two-word scientific name of a species. A genus is usually the name of a small group of similar or closely related organisms to which an organism belongs. The genus with the specific epithet forms the complete scientific name for an organism. The genus name is usually written first and always starts with a capital letter. An example is the scientific name of ladybug; Harmonia axyridis. Harmonia is the genus, while axyridis is the specific epithet.

How does the anaphase stage differ in the two phases of meiosis?
Ronch [10]

The answer is c. Anaphase I separates homologous chromosomes and anaphase II separates sister chromatids into daughter cells.


Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half (from diploid to haploid) in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. 

In anaphase I, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells. In meiosis I there are 46 chromosomes in duplicates which are present as pairs of sister chromatids. When comes to separation, homologous chromosomes separates only, but not sister chromatids. Homologous chromosomes are present only in meiosis I.

 In anaphase II, since the cell is haploid, there are 23 chromosomes in duplicates, which are present as sister chromatids. So, in this phase, sister chromatids are those who separates.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:
