Most cells in our bodies contain two sets of chromosomes (2x23=46) . Which types of cells each have only one set (23)?
A cell has two pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, which we will call chromosomes Ia, Ib, IIa, and IIb (chromosomes Ia and Ib are homologs, and chromosomes IIa and IIb are homologs). Allele M is located on the long arm of chromosome Ia, and allele m is located at the same position on chromosome Ib. Allele P is located on the short arm of chromosome Ia, and allele p is located at the same position on chromosome Ib. Allele R is located on chromosome IIa and allele r is located at the same position on chromosome IIb.a. Draw these chromosomes, identifying genes M, m, P, p, R, and r, as they might appear in metaphase I of meiosis. Assume that there is no crossing over.b. Taking into consideration the random separation of chromosomes in anaphase I, draw the chromosomes (with genes identified) present in all possible types of gametes that might result from this cell’s undergoing meiosis. Assume that there is no crossing over.
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain two general types of organization that relate to the degree of condensation. Different parts of the chromosomes have different levels of condensation during interphase. Which of the following eukaryotic chromosome structures would be the least likely to contain actively transcribed genes? Oeuchromatin 10-nm fiber Onucleolus centromere

Give a one-word (or two-word) answer. b) What cellular process are these chromosomes going through? c) Which one of these pictures, a, b, or c, will end up with the fewest problems, and why? (C) Alternate segregation (B) Adjacent-2 segregation (A) Adjacent-1 segregation Metaphase I configuration N1 N2 N. N2 T2
Why do you (and most other species) have two copies of each chromosome? Are these two copies of chromosomes called sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes? What’s the difference between sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes?
A prairie grass species called "little bluestem" is tetraploid. It has four complete sets of chromosomes. There are ten kinds of chromosomes; in other words, each complete set of chromosomes has a total of 10 chromosomes. A single somatic cell (e.g., a cell in a leaf) will have 40 chromosomes, 4 of each kind of chromsome, i.e., 4 of the number 1 chromsome, 4 of the number 2 chromsome, etc. The illustration below shows prophase of meiosis 1 in chromosome number 10. In a diploid cell, there would be one tetrad (group of 4 chromatids) for each kind of chromosome. For example, there would be one tetrad for chromosome 8, one for chromsome 9, etc. When the tetraploid little bluestem undergoes meiosis, how many of chromosome number 10 will each sperm cell carry?
