What happens in metaphase 1?
pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
How does a tetrad form in prophase I of meiosis?
In prophase I, doubled homologous chromosomes group together to form a tetrad.
Does a gamete have paired chromosomes?
Yes. Chromosomes come in pairs and the child has them from both parents. Sometimes, one pair can have an extra third one. This conditions is possibly called Down Disease. Children are slower in development and have visible facial disorders. Their faces look different. You can try google that.
The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called?
a polar bodyEdited answer:Synapsis
Who discovered inheritance?
In 1910, Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered the sex linked traits to chromosomes.Sex linked traits are the traits controlled by genes located on the sex chromosomes.Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes 22 of these pairs of homologous chromosomes are called autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes is called the sex chromosomes and is indicated by the letter x for females and the letter y for males.If you are female then your sex chromosomes are homologous, XX, if you are male your sex chromosomes are XY.
What do homologous chromosomes form in pro-phase 1?
Homologous chromosomes in pro-phase 1 arrange themselves as tetrads. A tetrad is a set of four copies of a chromosome--the two original pairs, and the two copies the cell has made.
The process where replicated homologous chromosomes are linked to form tetrads is called?
Meiosis Stage II.
What can homologous chromosomes be called?
chromosome pairs
The two copies of each chromosome in body cells are called?
Homologous pairs.
When a trait has two identical alleles what is it called?
Homologous pairs
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).
What are matching sets of chromosomes called?
I believe they are called anticondon :)
What happens in meiosis during phase 1?
The homologous pairs of chromosomes line up together forming tetrads. During this time, chromatids from the homologous chromosomes cross over and exchange segments so that each chromatid contains both maternal and paternal DNA.
What is a chromosome called with matching information?
Chromosome pairs that contain matching information are called "homologous".
What are the matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell called?
Homologous chromosomes (I beleive)
Where are homologous pairs of chromosomes not normally found in?
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are not normally found in a zygote.
What occurs in meiosos but not in mitosis?
lining up of tetrads, crossing over, and separation of homologous chromosomes.
