The table below gives partial information regarding the contents of a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) sex cell during different phases of meiosis. Please complete the table. Note: One DNA molecule = one double-stranded DNA molecule (\"double-stranded\" refers to the double-helix)
Solution
Answer:
| Phases of meiosis | # Of chromosomes total in each individual cell | Amount of DNA per cell in picograms | # Of centromeres total in each individual cell | # chromatids in each individual chromosome | # Of DNA molecules in each individual chromosome | Is each cell n (haploid) or 2n (diploid) | Is the DNA replicated (R) or unreplicated (U) |
| Prophase I | 8 | 0.36 | 8 | 2 | 2 | 2n | R |
| Prophase II | 4 | 0.18 | 4 | 2 | 1 | n | U |
| Metaphase I | 8 | 0.36 | 8 | 2 | 2 | 2n | R |
| Metaphase II | 4 | 0.18 | 4 | 2 | 1 | n | U |
| Anaphase I | 4 | 0.18 | 4 | 1 | 1 | n | U |
| Anaphase II | 4 | 0.18 | 4 | 1 | 1 | n | U |
| Telophase I | 4 | 0.18 | 4 | 2 | 1 | n | U |
| Telophase II | 4 | 0.18 | 4 | 2 | 1 | n | U |
