Please answer question 2 entirely The giraffe Giraffa camelo

The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) has a diploid chromosome number of 60 and 2.85 pg of DNA occur in an ovum (egg). How many chromatids (total number) should be present at mitotic metaphase? How many tetrads (total number) are present in a metaphase I cell of meiosis? How many dyads (total number) are present in a meiotic metaphase II cell? How many monads (total number) are expected in the cells resulting from the completion of meiosis II? How many picograms of DNA are present in: a prophase II nucleus a Gl nucleus of a liver cell a mitotic cell at G2 a meiotic cell at diplonema How many different kinds of gametes (assuming no crossing over) would be expected as a result of independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis?

Solution

a) 120 - the term chromatid is what we call as a chromosome during cell division (60+60)

b) 30

c) 16

d) 10
