All of the following describe the replicated chromosomes that line up on the metaphase plate in Meiosis I, EXCEPT Select one: a. homologous pairs b. double-file c. randomly single-file d. two pairs of sister chromatids e. two possible alignments
From the given options, the terms which describe the replicated chromosomes at metaphase plate in meiosis I include homologous pairs, double-file, two pairs of sister chromatids and two possible alignments. however randomly single file refers to metaphase of mitosis.
During metaphase of meiosis I, homologous chromosome pairs with replicated chromatids are in the form of bivalents and out of each pair of homologous chromosomes or double file, one passes to one cell and other passes to other cell and in this way chromosome number of daughter cells is reduced to half. However in mitotic metaphase, the chromosomes align in a single line and the chromatids of chromosomes separate randomly to opposite poles.
