Question

The condensed areas in polytene and lampbrush chromosomes are referred to as ________.

a. chromatids
b. chromomeres
c. centromeres
d. chiasmata
e. puffs

Answer 1

Answer: b. chromomeres

Step-by-step explanation:

The chromomere is also known as the idiomere. These can be define as the sequence of granules or aligned beads typically found in the polytene as well as in the lampbrush chromosomes. In the absence of transcription, the condensation of the DNA and as well as protein complexes results in the formation of the chromomeres.

Answer 2

b. chromomeres

Step-by-step explanation:

The polytene , is a type of chromosome that are large and therefore contain large amount of DNA , thousands in number .

The lampbrush , is a type of chromosome , that are found only in animals .

It is a special class of chromosomes .

hence , the correct term for the condensed area in both the chromosomes are called b. chromomeres .
