In an experiment, researchers determined that applying a cyclin called CLB3 during early prophase I led to premature interactions between the kinetochores of sister chromatids and microtubules. How would this interaction affect the chromosome distribution at the end of meiosis I? Sister chromatids would separate instead of homologous chromosomes, leading to a diploid number of chromosomes from one parent.
Homologous chromosomes would separate instead of sister chromatids, leading to a diploid number of chromosomes from both parents.
Homologous chromosomes would separate instead of sister chromatids, leading to a haploid number of chromosomes from both parents.
Sister chromatids would separate instead of homologous chromosomes, leading to double the number of original chromosomes from one parent.
