Question

1. If an organism has 2n = 2 chromosomes, draw how the cell will look a) in metaphase of mitosis b) in metaphase I c) in metaphase II d) in anaphase of mitosis e) in anaphase I f) in anaphase II

Answer 1

Mitosis is a cell division process where a cell divides to two identical daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is required for growth of an organism, repair or replacement of tissue and cells. The different steps of mitosis are:

1. Prophase: Chromosomes double in number
2. Metaphase: Chromosomes align on metaphase plate, spindle fibers are attached
3. Anaphase: Chromosomes begin to separate with assistance of the spindle fibers
4. Telophase: Nuclear envelope forms around the Chromosomes
5. Cytokinesis: Organelles double and evenly distributed. Cytoplasm divides and cell membranes cleave to form two cells.
