Question

What happens to the homologous chromosomes in Anaphase l ?

Answer 1

Homologous chromosomes:

The pair of chromosomes look similar in structure and size and contain the same genes at the same locus.

Anaphase I:

1. It is a phase of Meiosis I that is crucial for the separation of homologous chromosomes.
2. In this phase, the homologous chromosomes are pulled apart and move to the opposite poles of the cell.
3. The sister chromatids of each homologous chromosome are not separated as they remain attached to one another.
