Answer:

Prophase1-crossing over may occur between the non-sister chromatids

Metaphase1- Homologous chromosomes line up at the center of the cell

Anaphase and telophase 1- homologous pairs separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell, Nuclear membrane forms and cytokinesis follows.

Meiosis 2- haploid number of duplicated chromosome line up…

Sister chromatids separate and become daughter…

Four haploid daughter cells are formed….

Explanation:

Meiosis I

P-I: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, homologous chromosomes form bivalents, crossing over occurs

M-I: Spindle fibres from opposing centrosomes connect to bivalents (at centromeres) and align them along the middle of the cell

A-I: Spindle fibres contract and split the bivalent, homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell

T-I: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear membrane may reform, cell divides (cytokinesis) to form two haploid daughter cells

Meiosis II

The second division separates sister chromatids (these chromatids may not be identical due to crossing over in prophase I)

P-II: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, centrosomes move to opposite poles (perpendicular to before)

M-II: Spindle fibres from opposing centrosomes attach to chromosomes (at centromere) and align them along the cell equator

A-II: Spindle fibres contract and separate the sister chromatids, chromatids (now called chromosomes) move to opposite poles

T-II: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear membrane reforms, cells divide (cytokinesis) to form four haploid daughter cells

The final outcome of meiosis is the production of four haploid daughter cells

why is it that bottle-feeding a baby in developing nations has so much potential to be disastrous to the baby's health

Butoxors [25]

It is dangerous to the baby bottle feeding because of the only water available to prepare formula is often contaminated, which can lead to diarrhea, dehydration, and/or death. This may also bring the risk for the babies especially when the bacteria develop and contaminate the feeding bottle.

You have an ecosystem with the following organisms: birds, fruit trees, tigers, and monkeys. Which list would best describe the

Paraphin [41]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The priority list will be like this

Fruit Trees
Birds
Monkeys
Tigers

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In an ecosystem, producers are the first level of the food chain. And we know that plants are producers because they produce their own food. So, fruit trees will be at the beginning of the food chain. After producers comes the primary consumers. Primary consumers are animals that feed on producers. Both birds and monkeys feed on fruit trees, so they are the next in line after fruit trees. Finally, secondary consumers eat primary consumers. As tigers eat animals i.e monkeys etc so they are secondary consumers, and thus they are last on the food chain list.

What are the Reproductive Barriers that keep species separate?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

C. habitat isolation; temporal isolation; behavioral isolation; mechanical isolation; gamete isolation.

Explanation:

Reproductive Barriers may be of any type which includes habitat isolation; temporal isolation; behavioral isolation; mechanical isolation; gamete isolation. All these examples are categorized under prezygotic barriers.

Habitat isolation: It occurs in case of allopatric speciation, initially all the members of a species can mate with each other but later on due to geographic barriers like due to a rift, their habitat separates and they cannot mate with each other and later on they evolve as separate species.

Temporal isolation: In temporal isolation, reproductive barrier is different time/season of breeding like American toads and Fowler's toad both are closely related and have potential to mate but due to different mating season they are unable to mate with each other. American toads mate during summers while Fowler's toad mate during late summers.

Behavioral isolation: When the members of two closely related species behave and respond to different mating behavior, it is known as behavioral isolation. For example breeding calls.

Mechanical isolation: Mechanical isolation occurs because of structural or chemical barriers. For example: when the shape of pollinator does not match with that of flower then the male gametes will not be able to reach to the egg cell.

Gamete isolation: When the gametes are unable to fuse due to any reason like less mobility of sperm in the female reproductive tract.

Sun-->sagebrush-->jackrabbits-->coyotes
