NEET AIPMT SOLVED PAPER 1998

  • question_answer
                The formation of multivalents at meiosis in diploid organism is due to

    A)             monosomy                            

    B)             inversion

    C)             deletion

    D)              reciprocal translocation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    In case a translocation is present in one of the two sets of chromosomes, this will be translocation heterozygote. In such an organism, normal pairing into bivalents would not be possible. Instead, pairing between homologous segments of chromosome would result in an 'X' shaped arrangement involving four chromosomes (multivalent).
