how many ways could homologous pairs of two chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate such that genetic differences arise in daughter cells? assume that no crossing over has occurred in this case.

Answer :

There are TWO different ways by which homologous pairs of two chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate. In meiosis, these differences will be evidenced by the genetic makeup of daughter cells.

During metaphase, homo-logous chromosomes are lined up at the middle of the cell (i.e., the equator plate).

Subsequently, during anaphase, homo-logous chromosomes are separated, thereby daughter cells will receive only one homo-logous chromosome of the chromosome pair.

Meiosis is a type of cell division characterized by the independent assortment of chromosomes, which is due to the random assortment of homo-logous chromosomes at the metaphase plate.

This independent assortment offers unique compositions of alleles in daughter (meiotic) cells.
