Answer the following questions about meiosis in the indicated organisms.

A) How many dyads would you find in humans?

B) How many tetrads would you find in humans?

C) How many bivalents would you find in goldfish?

D) How many dyads would you find in field horsetail?

Solution

A) How many dyads would you find in humans?
The total no of chromosomes in humans is 46.
Each chromosome represent one dyad. so, the answer is 46.

B) How many tetrads would you find in humans?
In Prophase I of meiosis, the homologus chromosome will form bivalents.
Each bivalent has one tetrad. So, the answer is 23

C) How many bivalents would you find in goldfish?
In Prophase I of meiosis, the homologus chromosome will form bivalents.
so, the answer is 50- 52.

D) How many dyads would you find in field horsetail?
The total no of chromosomes in field horsetail is 216.
Each chromosome represent one dyad. so, the answer is 216.
