Question

In onion root tip, during metaphase stage of mitosis the number of chromatids will be481632

Answer 1

Metaphase is that stage in the process of mitotic cell division where the chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell. The sister chromatids are attached to the poles of the cells by spindles. What is to be noted here is that the sister chromatids have two pairs of genetic material as the duplication has already occurred in the S-phase. 

As a haploid onion cell has 8 chromatids, a diploid one will have 16 chromatids.

Answer 2

In onion root tip, during metaphase stage of mitosis the number of chromatids will be48/16/32

Answer: In onion root tip, during metaphase stage of mitosis the number of chromatids will be 16

Reason for the answer: In metaphase there are Diploid number of chromosome in the cell. Metaphase is known as the stage of mitosis where the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage stage inside the cell.
