Question

melosis begins after the germ cell copies its chromosomes. during melosis, the germ cell undergoes two rounds of cell division. during the first round of cell division, the two chromosomes of each homologous pair separate into different cells. the two haploid cells resulting from this division each contain half the number of chromosomes as the diploid germ cell. complete the paragraph. during the first round of meiotic cell division, ____________ separate. this division results in ____________ cells. sister chromatids...two diploid homologous chromosomes...two diploid homologous chromosomes...two haploid sister chromatids...two haploid

Explanation:

The text states that during the first round of cell division in meiosis, "the two chromosomes of each homologous pair separate into different cells" and "the two haploid cells resulting from this division". So we need to match the correct terms from the options. Homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis I (first round), and the resulting cells are haploid.

Answer:

homologous chromosomes...two haploid
