Answer check from previous page: 

                   k- chromosomes with genes 

Note:  (bb) and (AA) are located on the long red homologue  and (BB) and  (aa) are are located  on the long blue homologue. 
 
  Read the pages indicated by G-6, examine behavioral objective 9 and focus on the steps involved during metaphase

                                                 k
