Chiasma is the point at which paired homologous chromosomes remain in contact as they begin to separate during the first prophase of meiosis, forming a cross shape. A number of chiasmata can usually be identified and at these points crossing over occurs. Chlorine dioxide Chlorine dioxide is a yellowish-red explosive gas with the formula ClO2. It is...
