In salivary glands, chromosomes/polytene chromosomes pairing is:
Correct answer: D. Formed between homologous chromosomes
- A. Absent
- B. Occasional
- C. Formed between non homologous chromosomes
- D. Formed between homologous chromosomes
Explanation
In salivary gland chromosomes/polytene chromosomes pairing is formed between homologous chromosomes. A characteristic feature of these chromosomes is that somatic pairing occurs in them and hence their number appears half of normal somatic cells.
