Detailed explanation-1: -Which phrase best describes meiosis I? duplication of paired chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. Two chromosomes in a pair – normally one inherited from the mother and one from the father. For example, the two copies of Chromosome 1 in a cell would be referred to as homologous chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sperm and Ovum cell types. Which phrase best describes meiosis 1? division of homologous chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -They have the same genes in the same order. One is inherited from one parent, and one is inherited from the other parent. They can contain the same or different alleles.
