Chapter 15, Problem 5TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The process of replication takes place in the S phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Replication of chromatids results in the formation of a replicated chromosome. The chromatids are separated during the process of the mitotic cell cycle after the completion of replication in the S phase of the cell cycle.

Students have asked these similar questions
the kinetochore of a metaphase chromosome is
a. The ends of the chromosome that are duplicated by telomerase.
b. The repeated DNA sequence at the centromere that is composed of cohesion protein.
c. A protein complex that assembles on the outer surface of the chromosome to mediate attachment to the kinetochore microtubules
d. The protein complext that contains cohesion and mediates attachment of the sister chromatids.
Which of the following statements about chromosomes and centromeres is INCORRECT?(choose the letter that corresponds to the answer)
A. A centromere is a constriction visible on metaphase chromosomes.
B. Centromere position is a useful marker for dividing chromosomes into karyotype groups.
C. Centromeric protein-A replaces histone H3 in nucleosomes found at the centromere.
D. Acentric and dicentric chromosomes are genetically stable chromosomes.
A parent cell divides to form two genetically identical daughter cells in the process of mitosis. For mitosis to take place:
A.
the parent cell must divide its DNA in half so each daughter cell gets only the genes needed to carry out its functions. In this way, differentiation occurs.
B.
the parent cell must reproduce its DNA during telophase
C.
the parent cell must first be fertilized
D.
the parent cell must replicate its entire genome prior to mitosis
E.
crossover must be delayed until the second cell division
