Which of the following statements best describes the major difference between metaphase i of meiosis and metaphase of mitosis? (2 points) in metaphase i, tetrad sets of homologous chromosomes stay together as they line up along the center of the cell. in metaphase, homologous chromosomes are separated as each sister chromatid set is pulled to one end of the cell. in metaphase, sister chromatids are separated and pulled apart to form a total of four new haploid cells. in metaphase i, sets of sister chromatids line up at the center of the cell and the spindle fibers pull them apart.

In metaphase I, tetrad sets of homologous chromosomes stay together as they line up along the center of the cell.

C. An irregularly shaped sediment

Explanation:

Deposition is the settling of sediments within respective basins of deposition.

Irregularly shaped sediments are the slowest to settle within a basin this is due to the frictional resistance of their surface.

As these particles hits the water, the liquid drag on their edges is very great and prevents swift settling.

A. A high density sediment and a large sediment will have a fast settling time.

B. Rounded sediments will impose no friction on the water and they fall through the liquid very fast.
