- g A A Stage Barrow_forwardconsider a diploid cell that contains three pairs of chromosomes designated AA, BB, and CC. Each pair contains a maternal and a paternal member (e.g., Am and Ap, etc.). Using these designations, demonstrate your understanding of mitosis and meiosis by drawing chromatid combinations as requested. Be sure to indicate when chromatids are paired as a result of replication and/or synapsis. You may wish to use a large piece of brown manila wrapping paper or a large cut-up paper bag and work with another student as you deal with these problems. Such cooperative learning may be a useful approach as you solve problems throughout the text. Draw all possible combinations of chromatids during anaphase II in meiosis.arrow_forwardQ1: Prior to going through meiosis, the nucleus would look like which letter? (Write just the letter below.) Q2: Next, the mitotic spindle fibers start to organize into centrosomes and these centrosomes pull away from each other, but since these images just show the nucleus, you don't see that here. While the mitotic spindle fibers are reorganizing, the DNA chromosomes start to condense, which you do see here. This is represented by what image? Q3: Once the DNA is completely condensed and organized into chromosomes, homologous chromosomes pair up in a process known as synapsis. This is represented by what image? Q4: Synapsis sets the homologous chromosomes up for crossing over when homologous chromosomes exchange parts of their DNA with each other. This is represented by what image Q5: At this point, the nuclear envelope is completely dissolved and no longer visible. The homologous chromosomes are lined up in the middle by the mitotic spindle fibers. This happens as the mitotic…arrow_forward
