Answer:
10 chromosomes/sister chromatids
Explanation:
Prophase is the first stage of cell division (mitosis). Prior to the cell entering the actual division stage, it undergoes a phase where it prepares its content and most importantly undergo the duplication of its genetic material (DNA). This DNA are found as chromosomes. It undergoes replication of its DNA in the S-phase of interphase stage.
Since Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes, and each chromosome holds one DNA molecule, 10 molecules of DNA will be present in the mustard plant's genome. These 10 molecules of DNA will be replicated on another copy of chromosome which is identical to the template. This chromosomes are called SISTER chromatids i.e. replicated chromosome. Each sister chromatids are held together at the centromere and are considered one individual chromosome until they separate during anaphase stage.
Hence, at the Prophase stage, before separation, each sister chromatid (replicated chromosome) is considered as one chromosome. Thus, in the mustard plant with 10 chromosomes, it will possess 10 sister chromatids or chromosomes at the Prophase stage.
N.B: When sister chromatids separate during anaphase stage, they will be regarded as individual chromosomes.
1. False. They are similar, though.
meiosis- A kind of cell division involving having the chromosome number. It is responsible for genetic recombination.
Gametogenesis- It's the process when gametes or germ cells are produced in an organism. They undergo meiosis to form gametes.
2. Spermatogenesis- happens in the testes of males. 4 gametes are produced. Spermatogenesis involves a metamorphosis stage called spermiogenesis. Spermatogenesis produces small, motile spermatozoa
Oogenesis- takes place in the ovary in a female. 1 gamete produced. in oogenesis there is no metamorphosis stage. In oogenesis the ovum is spherical, and isn't motile and is bigger with more food reserves and cytoplasm.
3. Because The one egg cell that results from meiosis contains most of the cytoplasm, nutrients, and organelles.
<em>Answer: In dehydration synthesis reactions, a water molecule is formed as a result of generating a covalent bond between two monomeric components in a larger polymer. In hydrolysis reactions, a water molecule is consumed as a result of breaking the covalent bond holding together two components of a polymer.</em>
It would be best to ask a professional on the subject.
