Question

Which of the following options correctly describes the behavior of a tetrad during anaphase 1 of meiosis?

Answer 1

The answer is; C

Homologous chromosomes have the same genes on the same loci. However, they may have different forms of the same gene called alleles. These sister chromosomes, of a homologous pair, separate during anaphase I of meiosis. The two daughter cells formed will, therefore, have half the genetic material as the parent cell. This is because they will only have one set of the genes (as in diploid organisms) and are called gametes.
