Assume that you have a eukaryotic cell with three chromosome

Assume that you have a eukaryotic cell with three chromosomes within it. How many 5’ ends would there be?

Solution

Answer:

Each chromsome consists of two chromatids and each chromatid consists of one DNA molecule.

One chromosome = two chromatids = two DNA

Each DNA consists of two 5\'ends.

3 chromosome = 6 chromatids = 6 DNA = 12 (twelve) 5\' ends.
