Answer:

A tetrad is a four part structure formed during the prophase I of meiosis I which is formed by the homologous chromosomes which is composed of two identical chromatids.

The tetrad formation takes place when a proteinaceous meiosis-specific nuclear structures called synaptonemal complex is formed between two homologous chromosomes which mediates the tight associations of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex consists of two ladder like lateral elements which attaches the chromatin of the homologius chromosomes. The central region of the synaptonemal complex is composed of the transverse filaments and the central element which bridge the space between the the lateral elements.

This attachment of the chromatin to the synaptonemal complex mediates the chromosome pairing and form tetrad.

Assume the light wave directed at the paper is white light and the paper reflects the wavelengths of red-orange-yellow-green-blu

Tanzania [10]

If you apply white light and it reflects only red, you see it red, all the other wavelentghs absorbed. If it reflects all wavelength (i think listed all red-orange....) then it should be white.

what do u mean by this chromosones contain information of inheritance of character from parent to next genration in the form of

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Explanation:

DNA are the building blocks of chromosome. Think about a blueprint. Blueprint contain instructions of how to build something, the actual instructions are the drawing and those drawings are housed on the blue paper.

So if you connect that analogy to this, DNA is actually the code that tells your cell how to do, what to do and such, they are actual genetic codes with bases such as Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine arranged in a double helix pattern. The chromosomes are the structures that are a result of arrangement of billions and billions DNA bases, thus they are the structures that house DNA and gene (part of DNA that codes for stuff)
