Looking through a light microscope at a cell undergoing meiosis, you see that the chromosomes have joined into xx-shaped tetrads. these tetrads are lined up along a plane that runs through the center of the cell. this cell is in

Explanation: This is the stage for alignment of paired chromosomes at the metaphase plate.

The arrangements ensured that the two complete chromosomes are present in the new daughter cells.

It is preceded by Prophase stage,and followed by Anaphase,where the chromaids part and move in opposite directions to the equator

as resources become scarce because of population growth, the growth decreases after few years due to lack of resources and food.
