Question

When comparing a cell just before the first meiotic division with another cell of the same organism that is ready to start mitosis, we can correctly conclude that both cells present: * Select the correct option (s) I. Equal amount of DNA. II. Equal amount of chromatids on your chromosomes. III. Equal number of chromosomes.

Answer 1

Answer:

III. Equal number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Comparison between two cells, one cell just before first meiotic division and other cell ready to start mitosis is that both the cells have equal number of chromosomes.

Both the cells have an equal number of chromosomes that is 2n (diploid),  where n is 23 and total chromosomes are 46 in each cell but at the meiosis at the end meiosis produces four haploid (n) daughter cells and mitosis produces two diploid (2n) cells.

Hence, the correct answer is "III. Equal number of chromosomes.".
