Answer:
Metaphase I
Explanation:
Homologous chromosomes are paired to facilitate crossing over during prophase I of the meiosis I. This is followed by alignment of homologous chromosomes at the equator of the cell during metaphase I. The process is assisted by microtubules of spindle apparatus. The kinetochore microtubules of the spindle apparatus attach themselves to the kinetochores of chromosomes.
The two sister kinetochores of duplicated homologous chromosomes are attached to the opposite pole to align the homologous pair at the center of the cells. Metaphase I is followed by anaphase I during which homologous chromosomes move towards the opposite poles.
Answer:
The post-transcriptional modifications in the mRNA produced as a result of the transcription in eukaryotes provide many advantages to the mRNA.
The two post-transcriptional modifications are the addition of 7-methylguanosine cap at 5' end of mRNA called capping whereas the addition of the poly(Adenyl) tail at 3' end called tailing.
The advantages of capping are:
1. Protection of nascent mRNA from the degradation.
2. Recognition by transcription factors helps in translation.
The advantages of tailing are:
1. Protection of the mRNA from enzymatic degradation in the cytosol.
2. Transcription termination
3. Export of the mRNA from the nucleus
Answer:
The best way to classify two different organisms that have similar appearance and are found in the same environment is to use gel-electrophoresis to compare DNA patterns.
Explanation:
When organism possesses the same physical characteristics and are found in the same environment the genetic test must be varried out to ascertain their differences such as DNA test using electrophoresis to compare such
