Final answer:
1. In prophase of mitosis, there would be 4 chromosomes and 8 chromatids in the cell. 2. In prophase I of meiosis, there would be 4 chromosomes and 16 chromatids in the cell. 3. In prophase II of meiosis, there would be 2 chromosomes and 8 chromatids in the cell.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. How many chromosomes in the cell in prophase of mitosis?
During prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible. In a cell with 2 sets of chromosomes (2n = 4), there would be 4 chromosomes in the cell in prophase of mitosis.
2. How many chromosomes in the cell in prophase I of meiosis?
In prophase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes pair up. Since the cell has 2 sets of chromosomes (2n = 4), there would still be 4 chromosomes in the cell in prophase I of meiosis.
3. How many chromosomes in a cell in prophase II of meiosis?
In prophase II of meiosis, the chromosomes condense again after the first round of division. Since each cell only has one set of chromosomes (n = 2), there would be 2 chromosomes in the cell in prophase II of meiosis.
4. How many chromatids in a cell in prophase of mitosis
In prophase of mitosis, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids, which are joined together at the centromere. Therefore, there would be 8 chromatids (4 chromosomes x 2 chromatids per chromosome) in the cell in prophase of mitosis.
5. How many chromatids in a cell in prophase I of meiosis?
In prophase I of meiosis, each chromosome pairs up with its homologous chromosome, forming a structure called a tetrad. Each tetrad consists of four sister chromatids. Since the cell has 4 chromosomes, there would be 16 chromatids (4 chromosomes x 4 chromatids per chromosome) in the cell in prophase I of meiosis.
6. How many chromatids in a cell in prophase II of meiosis?
In prophase II of meiosis, the chromosomes condense again after the first round of division. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids, so there would be 8 chromatids (4 chromosomes x 2 chromatids per chromosome) in the cell in prophase II of meiosis.
7. How many chromosomes in each cell are produced from mitosis?
Mitosis produces two daughter cells, and each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In this case, each cell produced from mitosis would have 4 chromosomes.
8. How many total cells are produced from the original cell in mitosis?
Mitosis produces two daughter cells from the original cell.
9. How many chromosomes in each cell are produced from meiosis?
Meiosis produces four daughter cells, and each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In this case, each cell produced from meiosis would have 2 chromosomes.
10. How many total cells are produced from the original cell in meiosis?
Meiosis produces four daughter cells from the original cell.
