Question

If the haploid number for a species is 3, each dividing diploid cell will have how many chromatids at metaphase?a. 3 b. 6 c. 9d. 12 e. 18

Answer 1

Answer:

6 chromatids of metaphase

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (d) 12.

• If the haploid number for a species is 3, each dividing diploid cell will have 12 chromatids at metaphase in mitosis.
• When a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells.
• Both diploid and haploid cells can undergo mitosis.
• In this division, the number of chromosomes remains the same as the number present in the parent cell.
