How 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.
which of these could lead to the mistake evident in the karyotype?
A) a failure of cytokinesis after meiosis I in gamete formation
B) a nondisjunction in meiosis II in gamete formation
C) crossing over in meiosis ! in gamete formation
D) fertilizaton by two sperm in zygote formation
Consider a diploid cell from an unknown organism that undergoes meiosis. The four gametes produced have 8, 8, 7, and 5 chromosomes. When did nondisjunction occur?
a.Meiosis I and II
b.Only meiosis I
c.Mitosis
d.Only meiosis II
e.Nondisjunction did not occur
