10 difference between lampbrush and polytene chromosome in table form
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Lampbrush chromosomes-
These chromosomes occur in the oocytes (germ cells
in the ovary) of amphibians and in fishes, reptiles
,birds and in some insects.
• They are extremely large synapsed homologous
chromosomes,seen in the diplotene stage of
prophase-I in meiosis.
• They measure about 1500 to 2000 micrometer in
length as opposed to 15–20 μm during later stages of
meiosis.
• first discovered by Flemming in 1882.
Polytene chromosomes-
• Chromatin structure is also unusually visible in
certain insect cells. Many of the cells of the larvae of
flies grow to an enormous size through multiple cycles
of DNA synthesis without cell division. The resulting
giant cells contain as much as several thousand times
the normal DNA complement.
• In several types of secretory cells of fly larvae, all the
homologous chromosome copies are held side by side,
creating a single giant polytene chromosome.
• These chromosomes, first observed in cells of insect
salivary glands of Drosophila .
