To determine:
The type of cell division that is represented in the figure and the relationship between the parts of figure.
Introduction:
Meiosis, also known as the reductional division, is the second type of cell division that takes place in eukaryotes. The cell division is marked by a decrease in the chromosome number to half. This type of cell division allows the recombination of the genes on the chromosome to produce a zygote. The two diploid cells undergo division to produce four haploid daughter cells.
To determine:
The difference between cohesion of centromeres and cohesion of arms.
Introduction:
The chromosomes are condensed structures that are formed during the early phases of cell division from the loose network of chromatin thread and then regain their original structure after being divided into daughter cells.
To determine:
The mechanism that keeps the chromosomes together during metaphase.
Introduction:
The human consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes, condensed form of chromatids which divide during cell division into daughter cells. The human has 22 autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes determine the sex in an individual based on the type of sex chromosomes that are present in the fusing gametes.
To determine:
The role of shugoshin and the enzyme it inhibits.
Introduction:
The chromosome from chromatids are formed through the process of supercoiling. The chromatin fibres are condensed into thick structures called the chromosomes. This chromosome in bacteria is circular whereas in eukaryotes it is linear.

- Molecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology LIST three characteristics of origins of replicationarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
