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...
Suicidal bag also known as lysosome is a cell organelle which are sphere shaped sacs filled with hydrolytic enzymes that have the capability to break down many types of biomolecules including the useful cells and materials that can derail the functioning of the cell . It mostly occurs in ageing, dead and diseased cells.
Lysosome is called as suicidal bag because it helps in the self-destruction of its cell, tissue or organs by releasing the lysosomal enzymes caused by rupturing of their...

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 (-).
Fun fact: The Rh factor is named after the Rhesus monkey, in which the protein was first discovered.
