Question
1. Please fill in the table below, indicating how many chromosomes and DNA molecules there are in one cell during the different stages of mitosis or meiosis for an organism that has a diploid chromosome number 2N = 22. Remember that for some phases there will only be one cell, and for some, there will be two cells. Give me the number of chromosomes and DNA molecules that are present in one cell, regardless of how many cells are present at that time.
Explanation / Answer
Taking 4 as N,
G2 - 4 chromosomes
Prophase: 4 chromosomes and 8 chromatids
Metaphase: 4 chromosomes and 8 chromatids
Anaphase: 0 chromosomes and 8 chromatids
Telophase: 2 cells with 4 chromosome each, 0 chromatids
-------------
Meiosis 1:
Prophase: 4 chromosomes, 8 chromatids
Metaphase: 4 chromosomes, 8 chromatids
Anaphase: 0 chromosomes, 8 chromatids
Telophase: 2 cells with 2 chromosomes each, 0 chromatids
------------
Meiosis 2:
Prophase: 2 chromosomes and 4 chromatids
Metaphase: 2 chromosomes and 4 chromatids
Anaphase: 0 chromosomes and 4 chromatids
Telophase: 4 cells with one chromosome each, 0 chromatids
