The reduction in chromosome number occurs during <u>meiosis I.</u>

Chromosomes are long molecules of DNA that contain some or all of an organism's genetic material. In most chromosomes, very long, thin strands of DNA are coated with packaging proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the histones are the most important of these proteins.

Within the nucleus of all cells, DNA molecules are packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly wrapped many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Another type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes from generation to generation. This is a two-step process in which the number of chromosomes is halved from 46 to 23 to form sperm and eggs.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

They have approximately similar molecular weight, chemical composition and solubility.

Explanation:

Macro molecules are bigger molecules having more weight. The molecular weight of the macro molecules is more than 10,000 Dalton. They are chiefly the carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleotide. These are found in the acid-insoluble pool. This means all macro-molecules are acid insoluble. They are all polymers. Their composition is similar, having carbon and hydrogen which forms bonds with other compounds like nitrogen, sulphur, phosphate, OH, etc. They are all basic components of the cell and cell membrane and all are organic molecules.
