You are involved in an experiment involving fluorescent painting of chromosomes. You observe the following in a nucleus experiencing homologous pairing in metaphase I of meiosis. At appears that four chromosomes have become paired, with each chromosome pairing with two others (centromeres appear as white circles, and the four chromosomes appear in different colors). What is the best explanation of this finding

It seems that a reciprocal translocation is going on.

Explanation:

A translocation occurs when a chromosomal fragment changes its location in the same chromosome from the original to a new one. Or when it leaves the chromosome to re-locate in a new different chromosome.

According to this, there are different types of translocations:

Reciprocal translocations might be:

Reciprocal translocations are easily recognized during meiosis because an association between four chromosomes can be observed.  This association is a quadrivalent structure.

During metaphase 1, the centromeres involved in the quadrivalent originate centromeric co-orientation or disjunction.

after receiving a stimus, the sensory receptors send(s) signals to the appropriate area of the body.  

the must be sensory neurons.  

hope its .

substitution is the answer in this case
