DDT has adverse affect on our environment due to its presence for a long time.

<h3>What is DDT?</h3>

DDT is an insecticide that can pass up in the food chain i.e. from insects to small birds, and then from small birds to big birds like hawks. High concentrations of DDT in birds leads to weakness in the egg shells.

This leads to a decrease in their population so we can conclude that DDT has adverse affect on our environment due to its presence for a long time.

Annette [7]

1. The lining up of chromosomes by the spindle fibers takes place at metaphase II phase. It is the second stage of meiosis II, the spindle draws the chromosomes towards the metaphase plate.  

2. The formation of the nuclear envelope around each set of DNA takes place in telophase II. Along with the formation of the nuclear envelope, the process of cytokinesis also takes place in telophase II, producing four daughter cells, each comprising a haploid set of chromosomes.  

3. The sister chromatids are pulled apart in anaphase II stage. In this phase, the sister chromatids are migrated towards the opposite poles of the cell with the help of protein fibers.  

4. The centromeres are moved towards the poles of the cell at prophase II stage.
