What is the term for the two sets of chromatids formed in the parent cell? A. Haploid B. Diplold C. Tetrad D. Gamete

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I to form structures called $$ \textbf{tetrads} $$.

2. Each tetrad consists of two homologous chromosomes, and each chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids. Thus, there are a total of four chromatids per tetrad.

3. Given the choices:
   - **Haploid** refers to a cell with a single set of chromosomes.
   - **Diplold** (presumably intended as "diploid") refers to a cell with two sets of chromosomes.
   - **Tetrad** specifically describes the four chromatids (arranged in two homologous pairs) in the parent cell during meiosis.
   - **Gamete** is a reproductive cell which is typically haploid.

4. Therefore, the correct term for the two sets of chromatids formed in the parent cell, arranged as described, is $$ \textbf{tetrad} $$.
