An animal cell (2n=8) at metaphase I
A plant cell (2n=4) at anaphase II
A plant cell (2n=8) at telophase I
An animal cell (2n=6) at telophase II
A plant cell (2n=8) at prophase II
Consider a cell that has a diploid number of 2n=16 (2 marks each).
How many total chromosomes does the cell possess?
The total number of chromosomes in the cell is sixteen.
What is the total number of sister chromatids present during prophase II?
The total number of sister chromatids present at prophase II is sixteen.
What is the total number of homologous chromosomes present during metaphase I?
The total number of homologous chromosomes present at metaphase I is sixteen
How many chromosomes are present at the end of telophase II?
The total number of chromosomes present at the end of telophase II is eight
Describe the difference between a homologous chromosome and a sister chromatid (2 marks).
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes of the same size and length and carry the same genes while a sister chromatid is one half of a replicated chromosome.
