Question
Chapter 12, Problem 10TYPSS
Summary Introduction
To review:
When a fruit fly embryo first begins to develop, a large cell is generated that contains over 8,000 genetically identical nuclei. Explain the reason responsible for this result.
Introduction:
Cell cycle is the sequence of events that occurs in the cell for replication and division of chromosomes to produce two identical daughter cells with equally divided genetic material. Cytokinesis is a part of cell division where cytoplasm of the cell is divided into two daughter cells.

The diagram below shows a cell during Meiosis II:
a) What phase of Meiosis II is the cell in? How do you know?
b) Assuming all of the chromosomes present during Meiosis II are shown in the figure above, how many chromosomes (counting homologous pairs as two chromosomes) does a gamete from this organism have?
c) Draw the same cell during the same phase of Meiosis I. Label the elements
Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes. For each of the following stages, state the number of chromosomes present in the particular cell.a) metaphase of mitosisb) metaphase I of meiosis
c) telophase of mitosisd) telophase I of meiosis
e) telophase II of meiosis
(Remember that a pair of attached chromatids count as one chromosome.)
One reason that worker bees forgo their own reproduction to help their sister (the queen) reproduce is that female bees are more closely related to their sisters than they are to their own offspring. This quirk of genetics results from the fact that bees have haplodiploid sex determination, in which females are diploid, with a mother and a father, but males are haploid, developing from unfertilized eggs. Because males are haploid, they produce sperm by mitosis. Explainwhy haplodiploid sex determination causes females to be more closely related to their sisters than to their offspring.
