Question

A diploid rice cell has 12 chromosomes.

Following mitosis, there are ____ daughter cells.
Each daughter cell after mitosis has _____ chromosomes.
After meiosis I, there are ______ daughter cells.
After meiosis II, each daughter cell has _______ chromosomes.
After meiosis II, there are______ daughter cells.

How many combinations of gametes are possible when chromosomes assort independently in meiosis? ______

What happens at the conclusion of meiosis I?
Choose one answer. Select one of the answers below
Sister chromatids are separated.
Genetically identical daughter cells are produced
Homologous chromosomes are separated.
The chromosome number is conserved.
Four daughter cells are formed.


Indicate whether the following outcomes of cell division are observed in mitosis only, meiosis only, or both mitosis and meiosis.
DNA is replicated prior to cell division.

1) Daughter cells are genetically identical to parent cell.
2) A diploid parent cell produces haploid daughter cells.
3) Sister chromatids are separated.
4) Two cellular divisions.

Explanation / Answer

Following mitosis there are TWO daughter cells... This is the purpose of mitosis to divide cells to repair tissues or to grow. After mitosis, each daughter has 12 chromosomes. Mitosis causes the chromosomes to multiply and after division, each cell has the same amount of genetic information. After meiosis I, there would be two daughter cells. After meiosis II, each daughter cell has 6 chromosomes. After meiosis II, there are 4 daughter cells! That's the first part. There is too much question here for me to answer it all for the number of Karma points given.
