Question

A cell having 24 chromosomes undergoes mitotic division. What will be the chromosome

number (N) of the cell during its metaphase and chromosomal number in daughter cells?

Explain it with reason?​

Answer 1

Answer:

N(during metaphase)  = 24 × 2 = 48

N(in daughter cell) = 24

Explanation:

There are two ways cell division can happen in humans and most other animals, called mitosis and meiosis. When a cell divides by way of mitosis, it produces two clones of itself, each with the same number of chromosomes .The purpose of mitosis is to make more diploid cells. It works by copying each chromosome, and then separating the copies to different sides of the cell. That way, when the cell divides down the middle, each new cell gets its own copy of each chromosome.

Answer 2

Answer:

From a diploid germ cell 2n =24 double stranded chromosomes, meiosis will produce four gamete haploid cells n =12 single stranded chromosomes.

Meiosis produces four with half because double stranded chromosomes represents DNA replication. Twice as much DNA as a diploid cell needs.

From a diploid germ cell 2n =24 double stranded chromosomes, mitosis will produce two diploid daughter cells 2n =24 single stranded chromosomes for the same reason.

DNA replication doubles the genome before cell division. Sister chromatids of double stranded chromosomes represent the replicated DNA. During cell division, sister chromatids of double stranded chromosomes are separated into different cells.

Meiosis has two stages, the first separating homologous pairs of double stranded chromosomes, and then the second stage separating sister chromatids into four haploid (n) gametes.
