Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

In the first step of meiosis I, the chromosomes/genetic material of the cell condenses into a visible form, into a form called heterochromatin. The nucleolus also disappears.

In the second step, a process called synapsis occurs. This is when homologous chromosomes align themselves, gene by gene.

In the third step, crossing over occurs. Segments of corresponding DNA are cut and exchanged between non-sister chromatids of the formed tetrads.

In the fourth step, the nucleus fragments, the nuclear envelope fragments, the two centrosomes (if we're talking about an animal cell) separate from each other as their asters and mitotic spindles (mostly microtubules (kinetochore and non-kinetochore) lengthen. The microtubules extending from the centrosomes can now connect to chromosomes.

Photopigment genes are located on the X chromosome. Color blindness occurs when an individual has missing or damaged alleles. A
Hunter-Best [27]

The probability that their son exhibits the 'color blind' trait is 0%. It is a type of inheritance linked to the X chromosome.

<h3>Inheritance linked to the X chromosome</h3>

In men, the patterns of inheritance linked to the X chromosome don't follow conventional mendelian inheritance because men have only one X chromosome.

Conversely, women have two X chromosomes, thereby the inheritance pattern resembles Mendelian inheritance.

It is important to highlight that color blindness is a recessive trait on the X chromosome.

In this case, the mother is a carrier, thereby the probability of passing this trait as a carrier to her son is 50%, whereas the father is normal, thereby the probability of passing this trait to his son is 0%.
