Question

1.A cell has all chromosomes lined along the middle of the cell (metaphase plate, equatorial plate). The cell is probably in: (SELECT ANY ACCURATE STATEMENTS)

Telophase

Interphase

Early Prophase

Anaphase

Metaphase

Cytokinesis

2. What would happen if a red blood cell were placed in 100mL of an isotonic solution?

initially the cell would lose water but then gain it again as equilibrium was reached

initially the cell would gain water but then lose it again as equilibrium was reached

there would be a net GAIN of water in the cell

there would be no NET CHANGE of water in the cell (i.e. the cell would neither lose nor gain water)

there would be a net LOSS of water in the cell

Explanation / Answer

) A cell has all chromosomes lined along the middle of the cell (metaphase plate, equatorial plate), an imaginary line that is equidistant from the two centrosome poles. Then cell is in Metaphase stage

2) Red blood cells when placed in an isotonic solution it will neither gain nor lose water.

So answer is: there would be no NET CHANGE of water in the cell (i.e. the cell would neither lose nor gain water)
