To determine: The proper chromosomal constitution of a cell.
Introduction: Chromosome is a part of DNA that contains all genetic information. The chromosome is consisting of a packaging protein that binds with condense DNA molecules to prevent from the unmanageable problem.
Explanation of Solution
Cell division is an important event in which the division of parental cells leads to the two or more daughter cells. The cell division is taken place by mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis involves a single nuclear division after
Whereas, meiosis involves two nuclear division without DNA replication and produces four daughter cells. Every daughter cells contain half of the original number of chromosomes because crossing over takes place in the prophase I of meiosis.

- Figure 6.4 Which of the following is the correct order of events in mitosis? a. Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate. The kinetochore becomes attached to the initotic spindle. The nucleus re-forms and the cell divides. The sister chromatids separate. b. The kinetochore becomes attached to the mitotic spindle. The sister chromatids separate. Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate. The nucleus re-forms and the cell divides. c. The kinetochore becomes attached to metaphase plate. Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate. The kinetochore breaks down and the sister chromatids separate. The nucleus re-forms and the cell divides. d. The kinetochore becomes attached to the mitotic spindle. Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate. The kinetochore breaks apart and the sister chromatids separate. The nucleus re-forms and the cell divides.arrow_forwardBIO 1331: Organismal Biology, Meiosis In-Class Assignment 8. What is the ploidy of this cell, now? Name: Figure 3 9.
