Cynthia observed a cell with a pair of sister chromatids moving toward a given pole as a single unit and another cell with sister chromatids moving to opposite poles. what did she infer from her observation? a. the first cell is in anaphase l, and the second cell is in anaphase ll b. the first cell is in metaphase ll, and the second cell is in metaphase l c. the first cell is in anaphase ll, and the second cell is in anaphase l

The answer is A. The first cell is in the anaphase I and the second cell is in the anaphase II.

Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so in total, meiosis results in four haploid cells. So, in meiosis there are two anaphases - the anaphase I in meiosis I and the anaphase II in meisosis II.

In anaphase I, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells. In meiosis I there are 46 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as pairs of sister chromatids. In anaphase of meiosis II, since the cell is haploid, there are 23 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as sister chromatids.

i'm thinking (a) to keep sand in place; ////////////

explanation: a sand fence or sandbreak, like a snow fence, is used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. sand fences are employed to control erosion, sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas.
