1. Interphase is an important and the longest phase of the cell cycle during which the cell prepares for division by coping its DNA. It is metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell grows, obtains nutrients and metabolizes them. There are three stages of interphase: G1 (the cell growth), S (replication of DNA, chromosomes are copied) and G2 (preparation for division). Without this phase, genetic material wouldn’t be ready for the process of meiosis and haploid gametes couldn’t be created.
2. Homologous chromosomes are the similar but not totally identical chromosome pairs that an organism receives from its two parents. During the prophase I of meiosis they pair up: each chromosome aligns with its homologue partner via link-chiasmata ( the two match up at corresponding positions). Those homologue pairs separate during a first stage of cell division (meiosis I-reduction of chromosomes number, from diploid to haploid), while sister chromatids separate during a second stage (meiosis II).
3. Crossing over is a process in which homologous chromosomes trade their parts. Crossing over is process of genetic recombination where DNA is cut and then repaired. Cut and repair of homologous chromosomes allow them to exchange some of their genetic information. As a consequence of crossing over, new arrangement of maternal and paternal alleles on the same chromosome is achieved. It is the way to create varations.
4. During the metaphase I, homologue pairs are lined up comparing to metaphase II where individual chromosomes are lined up. It is because during the meiosis I homologue pairs separate and chromosome number reduce from diploid to haploid. On the other hand, during the meiosis II, sister chromatids separate.
5. Nondisjunction is the consequence of cell division, where there is no properly separation. There are different forms of nondisjunction:
• failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I,
• failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II.
After nondisjunction, resulting daughter cells are with abnormal chromosome numbers -aneuploidy.
Answer:
OPTION C

AND IT GETS BALANCED UP BY MULTIPLYING IT BY 2..
The ocean floor regions are the continental margins, the ocean basin floor, and the mid-ocean ridge.
Answer:
<u>Light microscope</u>:
- use a beam of light to produce magnified images
- can be used to examine living cells and tissues
<u>Scanning electron microscope</u>:
- use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
- can be used to examine DNA
- can be used to examine cells
<u>Transmission electron microscope</u>:
- use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
- can be used to examine DNA
- can be used to examine cells
Explanation:
Light microscope: is a commonly used microscope also known as compound microscope. Magnifies images from 40X upto 1000X. It uses ray of visible light to produce a magnified image. The light microscope can be used to view specimen of both living and dead cells or tissues. However, it doesn't give a detailed view of a specimen like electron microscope.
Scanning electron microscope: It uses electron beam as an illuminating source. It has a much higher resolving power than light microscope because it uses electrons instead of light. It magnifies object upto 500000 times the actual size. Internal structures can also be viewed. However, only dead specimen can be used because the beam of electrons can kill the cells. They are of two types:
- <u>Scanning electron microscope(SEM): </u>an electron beam passes over the specimen's surface and displaces electrons which are then focused on a screen to form an image. Images appear in 3-D
- <u>Transmission electron microscope: </u>electromagnets magnify the image by passing beam of electrons through a thin specimen. Images appear in 2-D
Answer: As altitude increases, temperature decreases.
Explanation:
This is because the higher you go the colder it gets, except in the thermosphere, which is the warmest layer of Earths atmosphere.
