Question

The diagram shows a cell in meiosis.

1. Label the appropriate structures with these terms: chromosomes (label as duplicated or unduplicated), centromere, kinetochore, sister chromatids, non-sister chromatids. Homologous pair (use a bracket when labeling), homolog (label each one), chiasma sister chromatid cohesion, and gene loci, labeling the alleles of the F and H genes.
2. Describe the makeup of a haploid set and a diploid set.
3. Identify the stage of meiosis shown.

Short answer

1. The metaphase of meiosis is labeled in the image.
2. The diploid set denotes the complete set chromosome, and the haploid set indicates the single strand of a chromosome.
3. Meiosis is the stage that is discussed in this question.

Step-by-step solution

Explanation of part “(a)”

The diagram is illustrated with appropriate labeling is shown below.

Step 2: Explanation of part “(b)”

A complete set of strands present in the chromosome is the haploid set.

The haploid set makes up the individual sister chromatid making up the entire chromosome. The diploid set is the complete chromosome given in the image.

Step 3: Explanation of part “(c)”

Meiosis is the process of separation of cells that results in the formation of four daughter cells. The other type of cell division is mitosis which slightly differs from meiosis.

The metaphase I stage of meiosis is illustrated in this image. The arrangement of the homologous chromosomes happens in the equatorial plate happens in this phase. The low plate is the center alignment of the chromosomes that are attached to the spindle fibers.
