Question

How many chromatids does a diploid body cell contain just prior to cell division mcq?

Answer 1

Answer:

Diploid cell just prior to cell division contains double chromatids of cell made just after cell division.

Explanation:

MCQ:

If cell contains 40 chromatids in G1 phase,find no.of chromatids in S phase and daughter cells.

1)20,40

2)60,80

3)80,40

4)20,60.

Answer 2

Answer:

A diploid cell contains 92 chromatids just prior to cell division.

Explanation:

In humans, each somatic cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 46 distinct chromosomes (23 x 2); one chromosome originates from the mother and the other from the father.

Each chromosome undergoes replication during the S phase of the cell cycle. This results in the mother producing a second copy of each chromosome and the father producing a second copy of each chromosome. These copies are identical and are known as sister chromatids.

Thus, after replication and prior to cell division, a diploid cell contains 92 individual chromatids in each cell.
