Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

During meiosis one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells.
These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell – they are haploid.
Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes (eggs in females and sperm in males).
Meiosis can be divided into nine stages. These are divided between the first time the cell divides (meiosis I) and the second time it divides (meiosis II):

There are two vectors Force `vec(A) = (hat(i) + 3 hat(j) - hat(k)) N` and Position `vec(B) = (hat(i) + 3 hat(j) - hat(k))m` that can be used by two students Alia and Varun. Following are the steps following by each of them. Alia : Step 1 : Calculate unit vector of `vec(A)` by dividing it by its magnitude and get `hat(A) = (hat(i) + 3 hat(j) - hat(k))/(sqrt11)` Alia : Step 2 : Get a displacement vector of magnitude `10m` using `hat(A)` Displacement vector `= (10(hat(i) +3 hat(j) - hat(k))/(sqrt11)) m` Varun : Step 1 : Calculate unit vector of `vec(B)` by dividing `vec(B)` by its magnitude and get, `hat(B) = ((hat(i) + 3 hat(j) - hat(k))/(sqrt11))` Varun : Step 2 : Get a force vector of magnitude `10 N` by using `vec(B)` Force vector `= (10(hat(i) + 3 hat(j) - hat(k)) N)/(sqrt11)` Siddharth, a third student, comes and says when we divide or multiply a vector by a scalar, then the physical quantity represented by the vector from a displacement vector from a force vector or a force vector from a displacement vector as calculated by Alia and Varun repectivley. Who is/are correct ?A. Alia onlyB. Varun onlyC. both Alia and VarunD. Siddharth only

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`vec(A) = (vec(A))/(|vec(A)|)`
`|vec(A)|` contains number as well as unit. Hence a unit vector has no unit.
