The ant Myrmecia pilosula is found in Australia and is calle

The ant Myrmecia pilosula is found in Australia and is called bulldog because of its aggressive behavior. It carries all its genetic information in a single pair of homologous chromosomes. Males are haploid and have just one chromosome. Using the letters, indicate which figure represents a correct configuration of chromosomes in A female in cell cycle stage G1? _____ A male in cell cycle stage G2? _____ A female in meiotic prophase 1? _____ A female in mitotic metaphase? _____ Assume that a G1 somatic cell nucleus in a female Myrmecia pilosula contains 2 picograms of DNA. How much DNA would you expect in a G2 somatic cell nucleus? How much DNA would be expected in an ovum of a female?

Solution

7) Female in cell cycle G1 = D

Male in cell cycle G2 = E

Female in meiotic prophase = A

Male in mitotic metaphase = C

8)
