- imagine a giraffe whose diploid is 30. A) what # of chromosomes will be present in a somatic cell at prophase of mitosis? B) what will be the # of chromosomes present in a somatic cell at prophase 2 of meiosis?arrow_forwardIn kangaroos, the somatic cells are diploid, having 22 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in each cell at metaphase II of meiosis?arrow_forward9) A diploid cell is preparing to undergo meiosis. Before the 'S' phase, the cell has 6 picograms (pg) of DNA in it. Answer the following: a) After the 'S' phase of the cell cycle what ploidy is the cell? How many picograms of DNA does it contain? b) After meiosis I, how many daughter cells are there total? What is the ploidy of each cell? How many picograms of DNA does each cell contain?arrow_forward
- How many Barr bodies would you expect to see in a human cellcontaining the following chromosomes? a. XXarrow_forwardHow does mitosis maintain 46 chromosomes in daughter cells, while meiosis reduces the number to 23 in the daughter cells?arrow_forwarda. What type of cell division mitosis, meiosis I or meiosis II is shown in this figure? b. What is the diploid number of this organism? c. Provide labels for (i) and (ii)arrow_forward
- A cell has a diploid number of 12 (2n=12)a) how many chromosomes are present in a daughter cell after meiosis I? b) how many chromatids are present in a daughter cell after meiosis I?c) how many chromosomes are present in a daughter cell after meiosis II? d) how many chromatids are present in a daughter cell after meiosis II? e) how many chromosomes are present in a daughter cell after mitosis?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true regarding mitosis in humans? 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes are separated four haploid gametes are produced in males 46 pairs of homologous chromosomes are separated two genetically identical daughter cells are produced 23 pairs of sister chromatids are separated 46pairs of sister chromatids are separated 1 haploid gamete and 2 polar bodies are produced in femalesarrow_forwardHow do cells after meiosis compare with cells that are in the prophase of meiosis I?A) The cells have half the number of chromosomes and one-fourth the amount of DNA.B) The cells have the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA.C) The cells have half the number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA.D) The cells have half the amount of cytoplasm and twice the amount of DNA.arrow_forward
- A cell has a diploid number of 12 (2n=24)a) how many chromosomes are present in a daughter cell after meiosis I?b) how many chromatids are present in a daughter cell after meiosis I?c) how many chromosomes are present in a daughter cell after meiosis II?d) how many chromatids are present in a daughter cell after meiosis II?e) how many chromosomes are present in a daughter cell after mitosis?arrow_forwardif a yellow chromosomes are inherited from the maternal parent and the red chromosomes from the paternal parent, what is the genetic constitution of the daughter cell?arrow_forwardWhy is the difference in cohesin cleavage in mitosis and meiosis important for proper segregation in each respective cell division?arrow_forward
