What might be the result if breakdown of the shugoshin protein were premature?

1. The cohesion protein would hold the chromosome arms together longer.

2. The separation of homologous chromosomes would occur prematurely.

3. The separation of sister chromatids would occur prematurely.

4. Spindle fibers wouldn't form.

5. Sister chromatids would never separate

Answer is 3, The separation of sister chromatids would occur prematurely.

Explanation:

Shugoshin are known as the proteins which involve in protecting cohesiveness of sister chromatids. They prevent the removal of meiotic cohesin complexes from the centromeres at the first meiotic division. They are regarded as the guardian spirit.

They are known to be important for the completion of meiosis cell division, but not mitotic cell division.
