With chromosomes crossing over frequently, it's more likely that genetic defects will occur in offsprinfg.
The answer to this statement is true. It is because the size
the total amount of the DNA that it contains makes up the size of the genome.
Therefore, the size of the genome determines the information that it contains
such as the DNA.
It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question. But anyway, here is the answer. Based upon w<span>hat we are learning about the lion fish diet, what most likely is going </span> to happen to caribbean coral reefs invaded by lion fish is that t<span>here will be fewer algae-eating fish. More algae will grow over and damage corals. Hope this helps.</span>
The right answer is metaphase II.
The process is performed in two nuclear and cytoplasmic divisions, called first and second meiotic division or simply meiosis I and meiosis II. Both include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. First division prophase is long and consists of 5 stages: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. It is at this point that genetic recombination takes place at the level of chiasmus.
During meiosis I, the members of each homologous pair of chromosomes are paired during prophase, forming bivalents. During this phase, a protein structure, called synaptonemal complex form, allows recombination between homologous chromosomes. Subsequently, a large condensation of the bivalent chromosomes occurs and go to the metaphase plate during the first metaphase, resulting in the migration of n chromosomes to each of the poles during the first anaphase. This reduction division is responsible for maintaining the number of chromosomes characteristic of each species.
In meiosis II, as in mitosis, the sister chromatids comprising each chromosome are separated and distributed between the nuclei of the daughter cells. Between these two successive steps, there is no DNA replication. The maturation of the daughter cells will result in the gametes.
Sex cells will always contain half of the number of chromosomes needed for a being. So if a fishes sperm cell contains 12 chromosomes and the ovum also contains 12 chromosomes then when fused together they will have 24 chromosomes in total.
In order for the process of the fish to even be made the sperm and ovum must be fused together. Therefore the number of chromosomes that would be found in the cells forming the gills is 24 chromosomes.
