- If there are 4 chromosomes in the parent cell, how many chromosomes will there be in the daughter cells after mitosis? After meiosis?arrow_forwardWhat is the correct chromosomal condition at prometaphase of mitosis? A B C D Earrow_forwardIn kangaroos, the somatic cells are diploid, having 22 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in each cell at metaphase II of meiosis?arrow_forward
- How does mitosis maintain 46 chromosomes in daughter cells, while meiosis reduces the number to 23 in the daughter cells?arrow_forward9) A diploid cell is preparing to undergo meiosis. Before the 'S' phase, the cell has 6 picograms (pg) of DNA in it. Answer the following: a) After the 'S' phase of the cell cycle what ploidy is the cell? How many picograms of DNA does it contain? b) After meiosis I, how many daughter cells are there total? What is the ploidy of each cell? How many picograms of DNA does each cell contain?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true regarding mitosis in humans?arrow_forward
- How do cells after meiosis compare with cells that are in the prophase of meiosis I?A) The cells have half the number of chromosomes and one-fourth the amount of DNA.B) The cells have the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA.C) The cells have half the number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA.D) The cells have half the amount of cytoplasm and twice the amount of DNA.arrow_forwardWhat phase of meiosis does the nuclear membrane breaks down and the spindle begins to form?arrow_forwardif a yellow chromosomes are inherited from the maternal parent and the red chromosomes from the paternal parent, what is the genetic constitution of the daughter cell?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements are true regarding mitosis in humans? 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes are separated four haploid gametes are produced in males 46 pairs of homologous chromosomes are separated two genetically identical daughter cells are produced 23 pairs of sister chromatids are separated 46pairs of sister chromatids are separated 1 haploid gamete and 2 polar bodies are produced in femalesarrow_forwardIn terms of chromosome composition, are the two daughter cells in mitosis identical? Are they identical to the parental cell? If yes, cite 3 ways by which daughter cells and their parental cell are identical.arrow_forwardIf zebrafish have a diploid number of 12, what is the chromosome number in the daughter cells of the somatic cells? What about the chromosome number in the sex cells (sperm and egg cells).arrow_forward
