The diploid organism Biologica isawesema has 10 TOTAL chromo

The diploid organism Biologica isawesema has 10 TOTAL chromosomes in each of its somatic cells. If a germline cell from this organism divides by meiosis, the cells formed by meiosis I and cytokinesis will have _____CHROMOSOMES and _____DNA MOLECULES. 10, 20 10, 10 5, 10 5, 5 20, 20 The diploid organism Biologica isawesema has 10 TOTAL chromosomes in each of its body (somatic) cells. How many DNA molecules will each nucleus contain at the end of meiosis II and cytokinesis? 20 10 40 5

Solution

Answer:

1). 5, 10

Meiosis I results reduction of chromosome number. Each chromosome consists of two DNA molecules during cell division.

2). 5

At the end of meiosis II & cytokinesis, each cell consists of 5 chromosomes 5 DNA molecules
