Very similar at the DNA sequence levelarrow_forwardUse the following information as the basis for answering the question: A diploid eukaryotic organism has 4 unique chromosomes. Chromosome I is metacentric, chromosome II is telocentric, chromosome III is submetacentric, and chromosome IV is acrocentric. Draw a detailed picture of a germ cell from this organism in Metaphase of Mitosis and label all chromosomal and cellular components. Be sure to label each chromosome (I, II, III, or IV) and include the following in your drawing: centrosomes, 3 kinds of microtubules, metaphase/equatorial plate, and plasma membrane. Use the letter p to indicate a paternal chromosome and m to indicate a maternal chromosome.arrow_forward

Are they side by side in mitosis? 2)In meiosis, each centromere has a spindle fiber attached only to one side. In mitosis, each centromere has a spindle attached to how many sides? 3) Look at what happened right after Metaphase in both processes.
