In mitosis, the prophase is further understood by dividing it into the given sub-stages:
1.Leptotene :
In this stage the nucleus enlarges in size in the chromosome. The chromosomes appear thin, thread-like and single-stranded in this stage. They have swollen or beaded structures along their length and their ends appear converged towards one side of the nucleus called bouquet.
2.Zygotene:
In this stage, the identical chromosomes come together and form bivalent or homologous pairs. Further, ...
Yes, if the angle between the two vectors is more than 90o but less than 2700. (cosΘ is negative)
If a vector A is multiplied by a real number (say n), the vector of same nature is obtained but its magnitude is n times that of A.
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...



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.
