The APGAR scoring is done right after the baby's birth to evaluate a newborn's condition and if needed for immediate care. If the baby is weak, inactive and grimaces. The medical team should be concerned on checking and managing the baby's pulse rate which is the measurement of heart beats per minute. For newborns, normal pulse rate ranges from 120-160 beats per minute. Another vital sign to check on the baby is pain. It is considered the fifth vital sign which is regarded as a symptom of an underlying condition and may be associated with possible or actual tissue damage.
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.
