Which of the following characteristics do homologous chromosomes exhibit? They attach together as bivalents in mitosis. They carry information for different traits. • They line up during prophase I of meiosis They carry the same alleles They align on the metaphase plate in meiosis II QUESTION 2 Which of the following happens during interphase of the cell cycle? A new copy of the genome is synthesized The nuclear envelope disappears The centromeres do not split, but the sister chromatids do The chromosomes are moved to the metaphase plate All of the above are incorrect QUESTION 3 What is the importance of centrosomes during cell division? Centrosomes are like molecular spools that separate the DNA strands. Centrosomes are chromosomal structures that allow attachment between sister chromatids. Centrosomes are pores that assist during the breakdown of the nuclear membrane. Centrosomes help generate the spindle of fibers that move chromosomes during mitosis and melosis. None of the above is correct. QUESTION 4 If there are 48 duplicated chromosomes in a cell, how many centromeres are there? 06 12 24 48 96 QUESTION 5 Which of the following statements is true of a species that has a chromosome number of 2n = 20? The species is diploid with 40 chromosomes per cell. • Each diploid cell has ten homologous pairs of chromosomes. A gamete from this species has 20 chromosomes. The species has 10 chromosomes per somatic cell. None of the above is correct. Which of the following characteristics do homologous chromosomes exhibit? They attach together as bivalents in mitosis.
