B (Metaphase I)

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the two types of cell divisions that results in 4 daughter cells (gametes) with each having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. During meiosis, cell division occurs twice because before the separation of two halves of a duplicated chromosome called sister chromatids, there still need to be separation of homologous pairs, which is a similar but non-identical pair of chromosome received from both parents. Hence, meiosis occurs in a two step division process; meiosis I and meiosis II.

During Prophase I, which is the first stage of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up side by side to form a structure called TETRAD or BIVALENT and likely undergo crossing over( when segments of homologous chromosomes get broken and refixed interchangeably).

After crossing over, the spindle fibres (from the centrosomes) begin to attach to the centromeres of each chromosomes and move them towards the center of the cell called METAPHASE PLATE. Hence, they become aligned on the equator towards either side of the pole. Each chromosome attaches to microtubules from one pole of the spindle and the two homologues of a pair bind to microtubules from opposite poles. Hence, in Metaphase I, homologous pairs, not individual chromosomes, line up at the Metaphase plate/equator for separation.

The orientation of the line up of homologous chromosomes determines which chromosomes enter into the same cell i.e. the alignment of chromosomes towards the same pole determines which chromosomes enter into the same cell to form the genetic composition of gametes. In an organism with two sets of chromosomes (diploid), there are four possible combinations in which chromosomes are arranged in the metaphase plate, resulting in differences in chromosomal distribution in daughter cells/gametes, the process of independent assortment

i dont know this but ask your teacher for !

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
