Examine the following diagrams of cells from an organism with diploid number 2n = 6, and identify what stage of M phase is represented.
To review:
Identification of stages of mitotic or meiotic phase from the given diagrams in question.
Introduction:
There are two types of cell division – mitosis and meiosis. Somatic cell division is termed as mitosis, and germ cell division is termed as meiosis. The prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are four phases in mitosis. In prophase, chromatin gets condensed and chromosomes become visible under microscope. In metaphase, homologous chromosomes get aligned in the center of the cell. In anaphase, sister chromatids are separated by mitotic spindles. The last phase is telophase in which a nuclear membrane is formed between daughter cells; a cleavage furrow is formed which separates the cytoplasm of the parent cell equally, and diploid daughter cells are formed from diploid parent cells.
Meiosis 1 and meiosis 2 are the two cycles in meiosis. Meiosis 1 is known as reduction division. The rare event of crossing over occurs in this phase in which segments of non-sister chromatids are exchanged. Meiosis 1 results in two haploid daughter cells, and then meiosis 2 begins, which forms 4 haploid cells.
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram is of anaphase 1. The given diagram shows that the homologous chromosomes get pulled by microtubules and move to opposite poles. This phenomenon is observed in both types of cell division (mitosis and meiosis), but here, segments of chromosomes are shown in different colors, which means crossing over takes place between them, and crossing over is s rare phenomenon, which occurs in meiosis 1 (Anaphase 1) only.
The given diagram is of metaphase. It can be concluded by observing the position of chromosomes. In the given diagram, chromosomes are aligned in the middle of the cell.
The given diagram is of cytokinesis (telophase). Cleavage furrow is formed between daughter cells which separates parent cytoplasm equally into two daughter cells. Initiation of nuclear membrane formation is observed.
Given diagram is of anaphase. Initiation of movement of sister chromatids to apposite pole is observed as sister chromatids get pulled by mitotic spindles. Crossing over is not observed.
The given diagram is of anaphase 1.
The given diagram is of metaphase.
The given diagram is of cytokinesis (telophase).
The given diagram is of anaphase.

Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…arrow_forwardUARDIAN SIGNA Life Sciences/ Baseline Test Grade 10 ry must be written in point form. pot in full sentences using NO MORE than 70 words sentences from 1 to 7. only ONE point per sentence. words as far as possible. number of words you have used in brackets at the end GDE/2024 QUESTION 3 The table below shows the results of an investigation in which the effect of temperature and light on the yield of tomatoes in two greenhouses on a farm was investigated.

Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.arrow_forward
