1) How does the number of chromosomes in the cells produced by meiosis different

Question

1)

How does the number of chromosomes in the cells produced by meiosis different from those produced by mitosis?

Meiosis and mitosis result in the same number of chromosomes in the daughter cells of a given species.

2)

How does a zygote differ from a daughter cell produced by mitosis of the zygote's mother?

A zygote has a different set of chromosomes than the daughter cell produced by mitosis

A zygote has half the number of chromosomes of the daughter cell produced by mitosis

Both A and D

3)

What is typical n of a gamete?

There is half the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells of a given species following meiosis compared to mitosis

Explanation / Answer

1) Ans: There is half the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells of a given species following meiosis compared to mitosis

Note: (Meiosis is a reductional division so the a diploid cell will reduced to 4 haploid cells. Hence Mitosis is equational division the chromosomal number is identical to parents.)

2) Ans: A zygote has the same chromosomes as the daughter cell

           A zygote has two sets of chromosomes from each parent

Note: (Zygote (Diploid) is a product of fertilization formed by union of to two parental cells (Haploid). So the Zygote Mother cell is haploid the Zygote is Diploid and Daughter Cells also Diploid. Because mitosis is a equational division.)

3) Ans: 1n

Note: Gamete is a haploid cell capable to unite another haploid cell to form Zygote.
