They separate during meiosis I is true of tetrads.

Explanation:

In Prophase 1, tetrads are formed. Each chromosome has two sister chromatids. When two homologous chromosomes align for crossing over they have four parts and these are termed tetrads.

When homologous chromosome separate tetrads get broken. Tetrads are not present in mitosis because no crossing over takes place in mitosis.

In Anaphase 1 homologous chromosome separate by getting pulled by spindle fibres forming two haploid cells and tetrads get separate.

What would happen if a amino acid sequence of an enzyme was formed incorrectly
Harman [31]
If an amino acid sequence is formed incorrectly (i.e. DNA point mutations or frameshift mutations) then the enzyme can either be dysfunctional or non-functional; both of which lead to the end point of enzyme deficiency and overt disease. For example, the mutation of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase or G6PD decreases the production of antioxidants which can lead to increased hemolysis of red blood cells causing the clinical manifestation of jaundice (since the end point of metabolism of hemoglobin is bilirubin).
