Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
The halving of chromosome number during gamete formation, followed by the union of two gametes at fertilization, allows a constant 2n number of chromosomes to be maintained from generation to generation in all individuals of a species.
Meiosis ensures that all somatic cells of the developing individual have identical diploid chromosome sets.
The number of chromosomes in a normal diploid cell is 2n.
Gametes and other cells that carry only a single set of chromosomes are called haploid.
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
Scientists usually analyze the chromosomal makeup of a cell during metaphase because this is when the chromosomes are most visible.
During metaphase, individual chromosomes have duplicated and condensed from thin threads into compact rod-like structures.
Each chromosome, during metaphase,…
I need help with a biology question, please see the image below, thanks
Answer the following from the image with letters A,B,C, or D
For an organism with a diploid number of 6, how are the chromosomes arranged during metaphase I of meiosis?
Which sketch shows the arrangement of chromosomes that you would expect to see in metaphase of mitosis for a cell with a diploid chromosome number of 6?
For an organism with a diploid number of 6, how are the chromosomes arranged during metaphase 2 of meiosis?
Use the following information as the basis for answering the question: A diploid eukaryotic organism has 4 unique chromosomes. Chromosome I is metacentric, chromosome II is telocentric, chromosome III is submetacentric, and chromosome IV is acrocentric.
Draw a detailed picture of a germ cell from this organism in Metaphase of Mitosis and label all chromosomal and cellular components. Be sure to label each chromosome (I, II, III, or IV) and include the following in your drawing: centrosomes, 3 kinds of microtubules, metaphase/equatorial plate, and plasma membrane. Use the letter p to indicate a paternal chromosome and m to indicate a maternal chromosome.
