Answer:
Genus = Elephas
Species = maximus
Explanation:
Carolus Linnaeus, who is considered to be the FATHER OF TAXONOMY for his immense contribution to the classification of living organisms. Carolus Linnaeus between the year 1735 and 1758, developed a scientific system of naming organisms using two-way naming system called BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.
The two Latin names given to organisms were derived from their generic and specific epithet i.e. one of the names is GENUS and the other SPECIES. According to this question, the scientific name using the binomial naming system for Indian elephant is Elephas maximus. This means that Elephas is the part that refers to GENUS while maximus is the part that refers to SPECIES.
Answer:
Explanation:
Sister chromatids are regarded as replicated chromosomes. Sister chromatids are two identical copies of chromosomes held at the centromere that are formed as a result of replication. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles/gene sequence of the same genes.
Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are similar (in length, centromere position) but non-identical chromosomes. Homologous are non-identical in the sense that they may contain different alleles of a gene and are received from each parent. homologous chromosome contain four chromatids; two of which are sister chromatids and non-sister to the other two.
Both undergo meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I while sister chromatids separate in meiosis II but only sister chromatids undergo mitosis.
