Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1S
Diagram the process of meiosis for an imaginary cell with six chromosomes in a diploid cell.
a. How many homologous pairs are present in this cell? Create a drawing that distinguishes between homologous pairs.
b. Label each homologue to indicate whether it is maternal (M) or paternal (P).
c. Draw a new cell showing how these chromosomes would arrange themselves during metaphase of meiosis I. Do all the maternal homologues have to line up on the same side of the cell?
d. How would this picture differ if you were diagramming anaphase of meiosis II?

Students have asked these similar questions
A) At the end of meiosis I, how many chromosomes are in each cell?
B) Are the cells haploid or diploid?
C) Are the chromosomes of the meiosis I products replicated or nonreplicated?
D) During which phase in meiosis I would crossing over have occurred?
imagine a giraffe whose diploid is 30.
A) what # of chromosomes will be present in a somatic cell at prophase of mitosis?
B) what will be the # of chromosomes present in a somatic cell at prophase 2 of meiosis?
Give explanation
X and Y chromosomes are not homologs, but in meiosis they do pair and segregate in XY organisms to create 50% haploid gametes with an X chromosome and 50% haploid gametes with a Y chromosome. How is pairing achieved?
a. Since all other homologous chromosomes pair, the remaining two chromosomes pair by default.
b Pairing proteins are capable of binding to different genes on the X and Y chromosomes, which allows them to pair.
c. None of the statements is correct.
d. They don't actually pair. Random segregation generally ensures the X and Y chromosomes separate.
e.Pseudoautosomal regions that are homologous exist at the tips of both the X and Y chromosomes, and they allow pairing.
