Meiosis

Question 1

Which chromatid is the preferred template in homologous recombination during mitosis?

Answer 1

Sister Chromatid

Question 2

Which chromatid is the preferred template in meosis?

Answer 2

Non- Sister Chromatid

Question 3

In which step of Homologous Recombination the DNA double strand breaks created?

1. Initiation
2. DSB Processing
3. DNA repair using homologs.
4. Homologous recombination intermediate resolution.

Answer 3

1. Initiation

Question 4

In which step of Homologous Recombination are the single stranded DNA tails are generated?

1. Initiation
2. DSB Processing
3. DNA repair using homologs.
4. Homologous recombination intermediate resolution.

Answer 4

2. DSB ( Double Stranded Break Processing)

Question 5

Choose the option which is incorrect in regards to the DNA double strand breaks in homologous recombination:

1. The no.of DNA double strand breaks are highly regulated.
2. The DSBs are deleterious to cells.
3. The no.of DNA DSBs are less than the no.of crossovers.
4. This is the case where the cell itself induces DNA Damage.

Answer 5

3. The no.of DNA DSBs are less than the no.of crossovers.

Correct Statement: The no. of DNA double strand breaks created during Homologous Recombination is far greater than the no of crossovers that takes place.
