Acompound that prevents the separation of the homologous chromosomes in anaphase i is being studied. which of the following questions can be best answered during this study

The correct answer is "Is there a pattern to the movement of homologous chromosomes in the presence of this compound?"

Explanation:

A compound that prevents the separation of the homologous chromosomes in anaphase I is of great interest since it will cause cell cycle arrest, an effect that is looked in anti-cancer drugs. However, a throughout study of the compound must be done before it could be used for clinical trials. One of the questions that could be answered in this study is: "Is there a pattern to the movement of homologous chromosomes in the presence of this compound?". The answer of this question will let us know if the cells will go to apoptosis, which is what we look for in an anti-cancer drug.

the answer to the blank provided is “an autosomal gene that is required for the expression of genes on the x chromosome”.

testis-determining factor, abbreviated as td, which is more popularly known as sex-determining region y or sry protein, is a dna-binding protein or  gene-regulatory protein/transcription factor, encoded by the  sry gene. it is the gene responsible for the initiation of male gender determination in humans.
