Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the labeled segments 'H' and 'E' in the diagram?

  • To represent the different stages of cell division.
  • To show the movement of chromosomes during meiosis.
  • To illustrate the process of DNA replication.
  • To depict the locations of specific genes on the chromosomes. (correct)

    • What is the relationship between the two sister chromatids of a chromosome?

  • They are non-identical copies produced during meiosis.
  • They are identical copies produced during meiosis. (correct)
  • They are non-identical copies produced during mitosis.
  • They are identical copies produced during mitosis.

    • What is the significance of synapsis during prophase I of meiosis?

  • It ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
  • It separates the sister chromatids of each chromosome.
  • It prepares the chromosomes for replication.
  • It allows for the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Homologous Chromosomes

    • Homologous chromosomes pair up during meiosis I, a type of cell division.
    • Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids.

    Genes and Chromosomes

    • Genes for hair color and eye color are located on chromosomes.
    • Different forms of a gene (alleles) can be represented on the homologous chromosomes.
