Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polytenization is when a chromosome is replicated everywhere except the telomeres and centromere, forming multiple copies or "polytene chromosomes" that remain connected. This is commonly seen in certain tissues of insects. Hybridization is the process of combining two different species or varieties to create a hybrid. Polymerization refers to the process of joining small molecules to form a larger one. Heterochromatization is the process of condensing chromatin into denser, inactive regions of the genome. None of these terms describe the specific phenomenon of replicated but unseparated chromosomes.
