Answer:

The correct answer would be crossing over.

Crossing over is an important event in which exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes takes place.

It occurs during prophase 1 (particularly in pachytene sub-stage) of the meiosis 1.

During prophase 1, the pair of homologous chromosome are aligned in the process termed as synapsis after which they exchange the genetic material at the points of chiasmata.

It results in formation of new combination of alleles in chromosomes which leads to the development of genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms.

Which of the following BEST describes the kinetochore? the array of vesicles that will form between two dividingnuclei and give

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a structure composed of several proteins that associate with the centromere region of a chromosome and that can bind to spindle microtubules

Explanation:

Kinetochores have vvery important role in the cell division-mitosis.

During the metaphase of mitosis, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. Some of the microtubules bind to kinetochore (kinetochore microtubules) while other don’t: they connect with the microtubules from the opposite pole, stabilizing the spindle.

During the anaphase, kinetochore microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles, helping the sister chromatids separate from each other.
