Q

One of the two distinct longitudinal subunits of chromosomes is called?

A

Chromatid

16
Q

Chromatid get seperated during?

A

Anaphase

17
Q

How is chromatid formed?

The region of chromosome, which takes up deep stain during interphase and prophase is called?

A

Heterochromatin

24
Q

The region of chromosome, which takes up deep stain during interphase and prophase is called?

A

Heterochromatin

25
Q

The region if the chromosomes which takes up little stain during interphase is called?

A

Euchromatin

26
Q

Metacentric chromosomes is?

A

A chromosome in which the centromere located in the middle portion such chromosomes assume V shape at anaphase

27
Q

Sub-metacentric chromosomes is ?

A

A chromosome in which centromere is located slightly away from the centre oimy or has sub media position. Such chromosomes assume J SHAPE at anaphase
