Which of the statements below are true for chromosomes in eukaryotic cells?
a. diploid cells have two versions of each chromosome
b. diploid cells have a maternal homologue and a paternal homologue



Answer :

Both the statements are True i.e. (A) Diploid cells have two versions of each chromosome and (B) Diploid cells have a maternal homologue and a paternal homologue.

A major feature that distinguishes eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus. This nucleus is the cell's "control center" that stores all of the cell's genetic information, or DNA. The nuclear membrane, or nuclear envelope, contains channels called pores.

The DNA in the cell nucleus is made up of chromosomes. At the most basic level, chromosomes are DNA molecules tightly wrapped around proteins called histones. Eukaryotic cells have multiple linear chromosomes. They contain genetic information in the form of genes and act as genetic carriers.

Regulates cell division, growth, metabolism, and differentiation. Each eukaryotic chromosome consists of DNA that is wrapped and condensed around octamers of basic proteins called histones. The histone proteins of these cells are H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 and are important for the formation of chromosomal structures or compaction of DNA.
