The stage of cell division in which paired homologous chromosomes get shortened and thickened is prophase I of meiosis. During this stage, the chromosomes condense and become visible as distinct structures, allowing for the homologous chromosomes to pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over. The shortening and thickening of the chromosomes during prophase I is important for proper alignment and separation of the homologous chromosomes during subsequent...

There is, for sure, effect of gravity on fire. We know for a fact that fires on Earth are "pointy" while those in zero-gravity are "round". This is because fire is simply glowing gas. Gas is matter and matter has weight. For a body to have weight, gravity must influence it in some way. 

Bohr's theory of the atom was proposed in the early 20th century and was based on the idea that electrons move in fixed orbits around the nucleus. According to this theory, the position and momentum of an electron in an atom can be determined with absolute precision at any given moment, which seems to contradict Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to determine the exact position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. This...
