Use the figure to answer the questions below In the drawing

Use the figure to answer the question(s) below. In the drawing to the right, the cell is in: Metaphase Metaphase(mitosis) Metaphase U none of the above In the cell to the right, the haploid number of chromosomes for the organism would be: 2 8 4 16 For the cell to the right when all possible divisions are done, how many cells will result? 1 4 2 8

Solution

Answer:

1). A). Metaphase I

Homologous chromsome pairs line up at the center of the cell in the metaphase of meiosis I (metaphase I).

2). C). 4

Each homologous chromosome pair consists of two chromosomes. In the given diagram 4 homologous chromosome pairs are present, so number of chromosomes 8 (2n). 2n=8; n = 4

3). B) 4

The diagrm indicates meiosis, if all possible divisions happen succesfully, it results 4 cells from meiosis.
