Biology
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]3 years ago

Crossing over is essential for the normal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over also accounts for genetic variation, because due to the swapping of genetic material during crossing over, the chromatids held together by the centromere are no longer identical.

How many sex chromosomes does the normal human female inherit from her mother?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A. 1.2

Explanation:

Normally, a human body cell contains 46 chromosomes - 23 inherited from the father and the same number from the mother.

Most of the human DNA, or human genes, are located in the chromosomes.

Each metaphase chromosome consists of:

two sister chromatids containing one DNA molecule each, and since they are formed by replication, these molecules are completely identical in gene content; that is why chromatids are called sister chromatids;  two centromeres, one on each chromatid.
