The number of bivalents, tetrads, dyads, and monads in the given deployed chromosome is 4, 4, 16, and 32 respectively.
The given "2n=8" chromosomes refer to 8 structures of the deployed chromosome.
1. bivalent at zygonema
Bivalent depends on the number of chromosomes. A pair of deployed chromosomes form a single bivalent. Thus, for 8 chromosomes, 4 pairs will be formed i.e. 4 bivalents.
Hence, the number of bivalents per daughter cell is 4.
2. tetrads at pachynema
Tetrads are structures with 4 chromatids i.e. 2 chromosomes which is the same as bivalent described above.
The number of tetrads is thus the same as the number of bivalents i.e. 4 here.
Hence, the number of tetrads per daughter cell is 4.
3. dyads at prophase 2
Each chromosome is said to have 2 dyads generally.
So, as the number of deployed chromosomes here is 8, the number of dyads will be twice that value i.e. 2 * 8 = 16.
Hence, the number of dyads per daughter cell is 16.
4. monads at prophase 2
Each chromosome is said to have 4 monads generally.
So, as the number of deployed chromosomes here is 8, the number of monads will be 4 times that value i.e. 4 * 8 = 32.
Hence, the number of monads per daughter cell is 32.
