Homologous Chromsomes pair in the parent cell. This is Meiosis.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair and form synapses, a step unique to meiosis. The paired chromosomes are called bivalents, and the formation of chiasmata caused by genetic recombination becomes apparent. Chromosomal condensation allows these to be viewed in the microscope.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is option C. The chromosomes in a homologous pair originate from both parents of the offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
