Which Regions of the X Chromosome Recombine During Meiosis

Question

Which regions of the X chromosome recombine during meiosis?
A)the pseudoautosomal regions
B)the heterochromain
C)SRY
D)the male- specific region of the Y
E)the centromere

Accepted Answer

The pseudoautosomal regions of the X and Y chromosomes are regions that share homology and recombine during meiosis. This allows for proper segregation of the sex chromosomes during gamete formation. The other choices are not regions on the X chromosome.
