How do eukaryotes reproduce asexually?
A cell undergoing division has a haploid chromosome number of 15. Give the numerical value for each of the following:
a) number of chromatids in a cell in anaphase of mitosisb) number of chromosomes in a cell in metaphase of mitosisc) number of homologous pairs in a cell in prophase of meiosis I
d) number of chromatids in a cell in metaphase of meiosis IIe) number of centromeres in a cell in prophase of meiosis II
f) number of centromeres following cytokinesis of meiosis I
Why must the life cycle of sexually reproducing species alternate between haploid
and diploid stages?
A) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of
chromosomes in each generation.
B) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of
chromosomes in each generation.
C) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of
chromosomes in each generation.
D) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of
chromosomes in each generation.
