The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks with the correct terms related to the structure of a chromosome. 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Chromosome**: - A chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined at a region called the centromere. 2. **Identifying the First Blank (A)**: - The first blank asks what is present on the sides of the chromosome. The region where the two sister chromatids are joined is called the **centromere**. However, the question specifically refers to the structure that is present on the sides of the centromere, which is known as the **primary constriction**. 3. **Identifying the Second Blank (B)**: - The second blank asks for the disk-shaped structures that are present on the sides of the primary constriction. These structures are known as **kinetochores**. Kinetochores are protein complexes that assemble on the centromere and are essential for the attachment of spindle fibers during cell division. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "Every chromosome essentially has a **primary constriction** on the sides of which disk-shaped structures called **kinetochores** are present." ### Summary of the Answers: - (A) Primary constriction - (B) Kinetochores
