Everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. What formation is shown in the following illustration? Well, looking at this illustration, we can see that we have this kind of crossing over between these two chromosomes which we know that the term that refers to that point of contact or link between the two chroma tides is called miasma or answer choice C. The correct answer. Because we know that it is not answer choice A chroma tides because it is the linking of two chroma tides. So it cannot be answer choice. A. We know it is not answer choice B. Spindle fibers because those are the fibers which help with the division of genetic material. And then lastly, it cannot be answer choice D centrum here. Because that is that point right here. Which is that constricted region of the chromosome. So the only viable answer choice here is answer choice C cai asthma. Because we know that it refers to that point of contact between the two chromatic, which we can see where they are connected here. So answer choice C. Is our answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye
