In which process is the pairing of homologous chromosomes followed by the disjunction of these chromosome pair

This is a description of a process called "crossing-over" which takes place during Meiosis. More specifically metaphase I of Meiosis.\n\nYour answer is A) Meiosis

Nondisjunction.  \n\nNondisjunction occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis.  This results in two cell with two copies of the chromosome (when it should one have one) and two cells with none (remember that meoisis produces four haploid cells).  If the cell with the extra copy fertilizes/is fertilized by a normal haploid gamete, the result will be a trisomy.  If a cell that's missing its copy of the chromosome combines with a normal haploid cell, there result is monosomy.\n\nThe other three choices (inversion, translocation, and crossing-over) involve changes in sequence, rather than chromosome structure or number.

So in short, sister chromatid are duplicates of the homologous pairs. I hope this helped If so 333 (I) would like the 10 points. :)\n\nThe normal chromosome number in human cells is 46. This number is called a diploid or a 2n number of chromosomes. The chromosomes consist of 23 pairs. Each pair of chromosomes is called a homologous pair. One chromosome of each homologous pair is from the male parent, and the other is from the female parent. The chromosomes of each homologous pair look alike, and they contain genes for the same traits. \n\nSister chromatids are two identical copies of a single chromosome that are connected by a centromere. \n\nFirst, consider mitosis (typical cell division) in a normal diploid cell, with two copies of each chromosome. The chromosomes are duplicated during DNA replication, and the duplicates, called sister chromatids, remain attached to one another until chromosome segregation. Each daughter cell then receives one of the sisters from each homologue pair. Importantly, this means that the daughter cells are exact copies of the mother cell, with two copies of each chromosome, so they can go through the same process again. Thus, we call this process the cell cycle.

no each ovul has different combinations of genes.  When meiosis occurs each chromosome seperates independantly of the other chromosome so there can be a mix there, also there is occassional crossover where a chromosome will switch some of it's homologous (same) info with it's sister chromosome, since the genes on each sister chromosome may be different variations of each other, recombination can occur here as well

the ploidy no is 2n\nbut the dna amount is double. it changes in the metaphase or late prophase

, process of nuclear division in a living cell by which the number of chromosomes is reduced to half the original number. Meiosis occurs only in the process of gametogenesis, i.e., when the gametes, or sex cells (ovum and sperm), are being formed. Because fertilization consists of the fusion of two separate nuclei, one from each of the sex cells, meiosis is necessary to prevent the doubling of the chromosome number in each successive generation. An ordinary body cell is diploid; i.e., it contains two of each type of chromosome. The members of each pair are known as homologous chromosomes. An ovum or sperm is haploid; i.e., it contains only a single chromosome of each type and, therefore, half the number of chromosomes of the diploid cell. When the two haploid cells fuse, the diploid number is restored, and the plant or animal growing from the fertilized egg (zygote) has the usual diploid number of chromosomes in its cells. Just before meiosis each chromosome replicates to form two identical copies in the form of strands called chromatids joined together at a point called the centromere. In the first stage of meiosis, called the reduction division, the members of each pair of homologous chromosomes lie side by side and crossing over occurs. Each member of the pair then moves away from the other toward opposite ends of the dividing cell, and two nuclei, each with the haploid number of double-stringed chromosomes, are formed. Thus at the beginning of the second meiotic sequence, called the equational division, each cell nucleus contains one chromosome from each homologous pair and each chromosome is of two strands that are identical (except where crossing over has occurred). Then the chromosomes separate into their single strands which move toward opposite ends of the dividing nucleus. The result of meiotic division is four cells, each haploid, with one chromosome of each pair.

i'm pretty sure crossing over occurs during meiosis which during synapsis of homologous pairs during prophase I. i think its C

Hmm....\nthere are mainly two types of chromosomal mutation\nchanges in the structure and changes in the number of chromosome\n\nin the case of the first, changes in the structure, \nthere are four types\ndeletion, duplication, inversion and translocation\n\nwhile for the 2nd, are mainly cause by non-disjunction

well certain genes on the chromosomes will be transfered to different ones which means the gamits produced in meiosis will have different genes than the parent and it will be a mixed half not a normal half

Let's assume you want a human example.\nHuman cells have 46 chromosomes.\n\nIn Meiosis 1:\nProphase 1- chromosomes replicate, join with homologous pairs to become tetrads.\n--46 chromosomes paired, 23 tetrads, and 92 chromatids\nMetaphase 1- same numbers as prophase\nAnaphase 1: 46 chromosomes (double stranded), 92 chromatids\nTelophase 1: end: 23 chromosomes (double stranded), 46 chromatids per cell\n\nProphase 2: same as Telophase 1\nMetaphase 2: same as Telophase 1\nAnaphase 2: 46 chromosomes, zero chromatids\nTelophase 2: end: 23 chromosomes per cell.

same place chromosomes split and begin to migrate.\nyou tell me.

Chromatids or sister chromatids.

During s-phase of interphase, the genetic material is duplicated.    So #1 is FALSE.\n\nTelophase sees the production of the nulear membrane.  So in effect, new nuclei are formed, making #2 TRUE.\n\nMitosis creates two daughter cells that are diploid, because it is reproduction of somatic (body cells), no production of gametes (which would be haploid).  So, #3 is TRUE\n\nChromosome find their homolougous pair during prophase of Meiosis, NOT mitosis.  Pairing occurs during meiosis so the the gametes that are haploid can be formed. So #4 is TRUE\n\nEach species has a specific number of chromosomes- fruit flies for example have 8 chromosomes, while humans have 46.  So #5 is TRUE.

telophase...it's basically the reverse of prophase.

Meiosis II is the second part of the meiotic process. Much of the process is similar to mitosis and meiosis I. \n\nProphase II \nIf needed, the nuclear membrane and nuclei break up while the spindle "network" appears and the chromosomes begin migrating to the metaphase II plate (at the cell's equator).\n\nMetaphase II \nThe chromosomes line up at the metaphase II plate at the cell's center. The kinetochores of the sister chromatids point toward opposite poles.\n\nAnaphase II \nThe sister chromatids separate and move toward the opposite cell poles.\n\nTelophase II \nDistinct nuclei form at the opposite poles and cytokinesis occurs.\n\nAt the end of meiosis II, there are four daughter cells each with one half the number of chromosomes of the original parent cell.
