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...
Matter is anything that possesses mass, occupies space and may be perceived through one or more senses.
The physical divisions of matter are:
1. Solid : Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.
2. Liquid : Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can...
In the air, there's nothing holding the body of the helicopter still - so the rotor blades spin one direction, but the torque applied to spin the rotors tries to spin the body of the helicopter in the opposite direction. The little rotor on the tail helps keep the body of the helicopter pointed in the same direction.
Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
The Rh factor(the Rhesus factor or Rh antigen), is a protein that can be found on the surface of red blood cells. It is one of the most important blood group systems in human blood typing. The presence or absence of the Rh factor is denoted as either Rh-positive (+) or Rh-negative (-).
