Chromosomes are structures present in the nucleus of plant and animal cells. It transfers the genetic information from parent to offspring. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. In which 22 pairs are autosomes while the 23rd pair is the sex chromosome.
The correct answer is:
Option A. OX: anaphase and Y: independent assortment
The explanation for this is:
- In anaphase 1 of meiosis 1, the homologous chromosome separates.
- In an independent assortment, the chromosomes move randomly towards the pole of the cells.
- Independent assortment of the chromosomes raises the genetic diversity.
- In meiosis, recombination happens due to which each gamete carries a unique set of DNA.
Therefore, in anaphase, the homologous chromosomes separate, which increases genetic diversity because of independent assortment.
