Question

If for a species 2n = 16, then during Ist prophase and IInd prophase of meiotic division of a cell, how many tetrads and diads will be formed
A) 4 and 4
B) 8 and 4
C) 8 and 8
D) 4 and 8

Answer 1

4 and 4 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

For a species whose 2n = 16, during its 1st prophase and 2nd prophase of meiotic division the number of tetrads and diads formed will be 4 and 4. Hence the answer of it is option A.

Explanation:

• Meiotic division of a cell gives to daughter cell having equal number of chromosome in them.
• During this meiotic division of cell, interphase is the most important phase because in this phase there is doubling of chromosome number.
• This chromosome is transferred to the daughter cell it means that the characters of parent cell is totally transferred into the daughter cell.
• Diads are also known as sister chromatin or homologous chromosome.
