What is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.
Do homologous chromosomes separate only in meiosis?
yes. in mitosis there is separation of sister chromatids
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
What can we observe in order to visualize Mendel's Law of Segregation?
homologous chromosomes separating during meiosis I
What is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.
What happens during the segregation of chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes pairs pull away from each other.
Is re-assortment of a chromosomes can occur during meiosis by crossing over of non-sister chromatin's or by independent segregation of homologous chromosomes true or false?
true the assortment is called genetic recombination
What is random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis called?
Segregation distortion, non-mendelian segregation.
When alleles on homologous chromosomes move into different gametes during meiosis this demonstrates?
Segregation
What best describes chromosomes that contain genes for the same characteristics?
Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
Do homologous chromosomes separate only in meiosis?
yes. in mitosis there is separation of sister chromatids
Humans are a diploid species what does this say about their chromosomes?
They have homologous chromosomes
What are the chromosomes that carry the same sets of genes?
Homologous Chromosomes.- for fact.
What can we observe in order to visualize Mendel's Law of Segregation?
homologous chromosomes separating during meiosis I
What is the type of assortment that involves the random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis?
Independent.
What are the matching pairs of chromosomes in the diploid cell called?
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
