What is genetically similar and different about these structures that have been separated to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase I?

Answer 1

It is about homologous chromosomes and meiosis. For answer, continue reading. Also read the contents provided in links.

First thing first: structures separating and moving to opposite poles during Anaphase I are homologous chromosomes. Please read the following to know more about anaphase:

Homologous chromosomes are present in paired condition in diploid eukaryotic cells (except in gametes, where chromosomes are in haploid condition). They are genetically similar in possessing same linear sequence of genes arranged on them.

The two members of a homologous pair come from two parents: hence may carry two different forms of same gene. please read a bit about homologous chromosomes before you move ahead:

Homologous chromosomes could be different in carrying different forms of the same gene i.e. members of a homologous pair may carry different alleles on them.

Before cell division, DNA of the chromosome will replicate to form chromatids.

Daniel Allen

During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are separated to opposite poles of the cell. These chromosomes are genetically similar because they carry genes for the same traits, but they are different because they may have different versions of those genes, known as alleles, which can result in different genetic information being passed on to the offspring.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
