Question

For cells in each of the stages of meiosis I and meiosis II, indicate whether:A. each chromosome is composed of one or two chromatids.B. the cell is haploid or diploid.

Answer 1

After meiosis always haploid cells are produced and genetic recombination occur. The number of chromosomes and number of chromatids in each phase of meiosis are explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis I;

In prophase I cells are diploid and each chromosome have two chromatids.

In metaphase I cells are diploid and each chromosome have two chromatids.

In anaphase I cells are diploid and each chromosome have two chromatids.

In telophase I cells are haploid and each chromosome have two chromatids.

Meiosis II;

In Prophase II cells are haploid and each chromosome have two chromatids.

In metaphase II cells are haploid and each chromosome have two chromatids.

In anaphase II cells are haploid and each chromosome have one chromatids.

In telophase II cells are haploid and each chromosome have one chromatids.
