In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.

slega [8]

Answer:

No, this is not consistent with the principle of independent assortment.

Explanation:

The principle of independent assortment states that alleles from different genes assort independently. This means that if a plant has a genotype Aa Bb, all four alleles (A, a, B, and b) are going to segregate equally, so we will have the following four gametes after meiosis:

- AB

- Ab

- aB

- ab

If the researcher finds that two of the four products are AB, probably there would be a deviation of Mendel's laws.

Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in which phase of the cell cycle? see concept 12.3 (
NeTakaya
The correct answer is the interphase.

The cell cycle consists of three phases: the interphase (G1, S, G2) the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis. <span>The first checkpoint of the cell cycle is G1 checkpoint which is between G1 and S phase when cell checks its size, nutrients, molecular signals, DNA integrity. The second checkpoint is G2, just before the mitotic phase, when cell checks DNA integrity and DNA replication. Those two checkpoints are the ones before division, other like M checkpoint is during the mitosis.</span>
