An organism has a mutation in the gene that codes for separase so that no functional separase can be made by this individual. What consequence would occur from this mutation?
a) Sister chromatids would separate prematurely during mitosis.
b) During meiosis, sister chromatids would never separate because cohesin could not be broken down but homologous chromosomes would separate.
c) Both sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes would never separate because cohesin could not be broken down.
d) During meiosis, homologous chromosomes would never separate during meiosis but sister chromatids would separate.
Ans: c) Both sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes would never separate because cohesin could not be broken down.
