The Hox genes control how body parts are shaped and arranged. Genes are sections of DNA that code for a particular protein; they give the organism its visible traits. Altering the nucleotide sequence in this section of DNA alters protein synthesis. This change causes a completely different body part to grow.
Answer:
- Diploid → Prophase, metaphase, and anaphase
- Haploid → Telophase
Explanation:
During prophase I, chromosomes get condensed. Each of the chromosomes gets in pair with its homologous one. They do so to make the crossing-over possible, a stage where they interchange their parts → 2n
During metaphase I, each of the homologous pairs is driven to the equatorial plane, where they randomly line up → 2n
During anaphase I, occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair → 2n
In telophase I, half of the chromosomes are already in one of the poles, while the other half is on the other pole. Each group of chromosomes has now half the number of the original cell. The nuclear membrane forms again in each pole → n
Finally, occurs cytokinesis, which involves the invagination of the cell membrane and cytoplasmic division.
The two new cells are ready for meiosis II.
