Question

Here is what i think are the answers but i'm not 100% sure i need somebody to please EXPLAIN this to me!! I know this is extremely easy if you know the stages of the cell cycle.

Gametophytic G0 - 32 chromatids, 32 chromosomes

Sporophytic G2 - 128 chromatids, 64 chromosomes

Gametophytic Mitotic Prophase - 64 chromatids, 32 chromosomes

Meiosis Metaphase I - 64 chrmoatids, 32 chromosomes

Meiosis Prophase II - 32 chromatids, 16 chromosomes
