Coiling of chromatids in mitotic and meiotic division is

A

Paranemic in both

B

Plectonemic in both

C

Paranemic in mitosis and plectonemic in meiosis

D

Plectonemic in mitosis and paranemic in meiosis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In a plectonemic coil the two strands wrap around each other.
In a paranemic coil, the two strands align side by side and easily separate.

The plectonemic coil is found in prophase of mitosis and paramedic coil is found in meiosis. (I) of prophase as in meiosis homologous chromosome easily separate that’s why it refers to as reductional division.
