The arrangement of each pair of homologous chromosomes on the metaphase plate during metaphase I is random with respect to the arrangement of others pairs. The mendel's law of segration, states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization.

Hello, I noticed that this question was missing its options, so I went online to find them. Here they are:

Which of these descriptions of the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis explains Mendel's law of segregation?

A. The two alleles for each gene separate as homologous chromosomes move apart during anaphase I.

B. The arrangement of each pair of homologous chromosomes on the metaphase plate during metaphase I is random with respect to the arrangements of other pairs.

C. Sister chromatids separate during anaphase II.

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) The two alleles for each gene separate as homologous chromosomes move apart during anaphase I.

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, considered the father of genetics, studied the process of inheritance by experimenting with pea plants. After seeing the results, he established that <u>each gamete -as a result of meiosis- will receive just one gene copy that is selected randomly</u>. This is what is called Mendel's law of Segregation.

Out of all of the options given, the correct one is option A. Though all of the options describe different events that occur in Meiosis (the cell division process that generates gametes), the only one that explains Mendel's Law of Segregation is option A, because is the option that describes the separation of the two alleles of the gene.

In what phase does DNA coil up and chromosomes become visible while the nuclear membrane is breaking down?
sweet [91]
This is the Prophase. 

<span>1) The chromosomes coil up and become visible while the nuclear envelope disappears. 
2) Sister chromatids are appears.
3) A centriole forms at each pole and spindle fibers made of microtubules grow out of it.
4) Short microtubules stick out from the centriole in a star shape known as an aster.

Your circulatory system consists of your heart, blood vessels and blood, and is responsible for transporting life-giving oxygen throughout your body. When you exercise, your body's need for oxygen increases; the harder you work out, the more oxygen your body demands.
