Question

Name Section 12. Celegans, a microscope nematode, has 6 chromosomes. How many would one find i n a cell in: (HINT: I would draw the chromosomal structures at each of the following to answer these questions. It will help you to visualize and understand the concepts). stages in order efore starting this exercised - define chromosome, chromatid and tetrad. # Chromosomes in G1 # Chromosomes in a egg cell # chromatids in a cell in meiotic prophase # tetrads in meiotic metaphase l # chromatids in a cell in meiotic telophase I # chromatids in a cell in mitotic prophase

Explanation / Answer

Chromosomes in G1, 2n = 6

Chromosomes in egg cell, n = 3

Chromatids in meiotic prophase II = 6

Tetrads in meiotic metaphase I = 3

Chromatids in a cell in meiotic telophase I = 12

Chromatids in a cell in mitotic prophase = 12
