Looking at the image provided on quizizz, the homologous chromosomes are performing an important process. What is the process that is occurring between the homologous chromosomes?

it allows for the chromosomes to split apart during prophase I, within which they are able to pair up and design the DNA that makes up an individuals gametes.

none of the answers are correct

12.
How would you be able to tell if two chromosomes were homologous?
a)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during anaphase I, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).
b)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during metaphase I, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).
c)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during prophase I, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).
d)
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same. These chromosomes cross-over during prophase II, within which the chromosomes share genetic information (DNA).

a)
one
b)
two
c)
four
d)

14.
Which of the following events occurs in both meiosis and mitosis?
a)

d)
metaphase I - This is where homologous chromosomes line up in pairs in the middle of the cell.
15.
Which of the following processes occurs only in meiosis, but not in mitosis?
a)
Interphase - this is where the cell performs cellular processes essential for life.

In general, what causes cancer within living things?

Cancer can be caused by the uncontrollable cell growth within a living thing. This uncontrollable cell growth goes undetected, and is too late when cells find the cells that are reproducing uncontrollably.

Cancer can be caused by cells that have not fully grown within living things. In turn, these cells tend to stay stuck together creating tumors in living things.

Cancer is usually inherited by your parents, thus cancer cells are already in living things that have similar genetics as their parents that have cancer.
