Which of the statements are true of both first- and second-division nondisjunction? Select all that apply.
a. Homologous chromosomes fail to separate.
b. Gametes are produced with extra chromosomes.
c. Half of the gametes produced are wild-type, whereas half are mutated.
d. Sister chromatids fail to separate.
e. Gametes are produced with missing chromosomes.
The statement B and C are correct. Non disjunction may occur during meiosis I or meiosis II, with different results. If the homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I, it results in two gametes that lack that chromosome and two gametes with two copies of the chromosome. If the sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II, it results in one gamete which lacks that chromosome, two normal gametes with one copy of the chromosome, and one gamete with two copies of the chromosome.

The second division of Meiosis resembles the division in Mitosis because....... Select one: a. homologous chromosomes line up double file, in pairs, at metaphase and separate at anaphase. b. it creates two diploid cells. c. replicated chromosomes line up randomly single file in metaphase, and sister chromatids separate at anaphase. d. it occurs in diploid cells.
Multiple answer: select all that apply. Which of the following charecteristics of cell division are specific to MEIOSIS? [mark all correct answers] a. Chromosomes condense and are visible. b. Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate C. Homologous pairs (or tetrads) line up at the metaphase plate. d. Homologous chromosomes form tetrads and where the two homologs touch, synapsis occurs. e. Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. f. Homolgous pairs of chromosomes are pulled to...

The new cells produced are genetically identical to each other and to the original coll During the first nuclear division, sister kinelochores fuse and are attached to the same pole Chromosomes The chromosome Independent condense before they number is reduced from Crossing over occurs assortment of maternal attach to the spindle 2 sets to 1 set and paternal chromosomes Nuclear...
Which of the following statements about mutations are true? Select all that apply. Select one or more: a. Both substitution and indel mutations could result in a non-sense mutation in the affected codon following the mutational event. b. Indel mutations that occurred in an exon (translated part of the gene) can be silent. c. A substitution mutation can lead to a frameshift. d. Mutations are the only source for the origin of new alleles. Consider the wild-type DNA sequence: 3'...
FLUID o True False 1 pts Question 3 Which of the following statements about MEIOSIS are CORRECT? Only haploid cells are produced Sister chromatids are separated during anaphase I and homologous chromosomes are separated during anaphase II After crossing over (recombination) the sister chromatids are still identical There are two rounds of cell division following only one round of DNA synthesis non-disjunction can occur during either anaphase I or Il 1 pts Question 4

For each of the following statements, say whether it is true for mitosis only, meiosis only, both, or neither (1 mark per statement): (a) The DNA is replicated before cell division starts. (b) The homologous chromosomes pair up during division. ( c) The cell divides only once during the process. (d) The daughter cells contain precisely the same genetic material as each other.

Which observation suppose mendel’s second law that copies of different genes assort independently? A) during prophase of meiosis, non sister chromatids will enhance genetics information b) At the end of meiosis II four haploid gametes are generated that each contain the same gene at the corresponding loci. c) At the end of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are found in separate daughter cells d) during metaphase I, nonhomologous chromosomes will line up randomly along the equatorial plane e) none of the...
all these questions have more than one correct answers 1) Meiosis & mitosis have similarities as well as differences. Which of the following represent similarities? a) Both increases genetic variation b) Both change in chromosomes number in daughter cells c) Both only occur in eukaryotes D) DNA replication must occur prior to both e) Both make use of a spindle to separate chromatids 2) Meiosis is a special form of cell division. Select any of the following that applies to...
