Answer: option B) A gene can take different forms called alleles.

Explanation:

An allele is one of the two or more different forms of the same gene.

For example, a trait such as seed shape is represented expressed a gene, but with allele of "RR" (round seeds) and "rr"(wrinkled seeds) observed physically by the farmers.

Thus, the correct answer is that a gene can take different forms called alleles.

In a process called ____________ , paired homologous chromosomes align randomly at the cell equator. this occurs during this sta

Firdavs [7]

In a process called Synapsis, paired homologous chromosomes align randomly at the cell equator. This occurs during stage prophase I of cell division.

Synapsis refers to the pairing of the homologous chromosomes in the meiosis occuring in the reproductive cells. Meiosis I is divided into four phases called the prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I and the telophase I. Prophase I is the longest phase of meiosis which is further divided into leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis.

During the zygotene of meiosis I, the paring of the homologous chromosomes called the synapsis takesplace which is facilitated by the protein structure called the synaptonemal complex. The paired chromosomes are called the bivalents. This facilitates the homologous recombination.
