Question


1. An onion has a diploid number of 16. How many chromosomes are visible in a cell in Anaphase ?

Meiosis
The Asiatic lily has a diploid number of 24. How many chromosomes are visible in a cell in Prophase I ? How many sister chromatids ?

How many chromosomes are visible in one of the cells in Prophase II ? How many sister chromatids ?

How many chromosomes are visible in a cell in Anaphase II ? How many sister chromatids ?

What is the haploid chromosome complement of your lily plant (as found in one of the four daughter cells after meiosis) ?

During what stage of meiosis do genes from paternal and maternal sources get recombined onto the same chromosome?
