A diploid cell has eight chromosomes, four per set. In the followingdiagram, in what phase of mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II, is this cell?

As two students, who will be designated Student J and Student K, were studying together, they argued about the differences between Mitosis and Meiosis (both Meiosis I and Meiosis II). Student J maintained that it if they were looking at very good slides under the microscope and concentrated on Metaphase, it would be possible to tell the difference between the cells undergoing Mitosis, the cells undergoing Meiosis I, and the cells undergoing Meiosis II. Student K said it would be impossible to tell which nuclear division was occurring. Assume there are three unlabeled sets of very good slides of the cells of the common pea plant with one set showing Mitosis, one set showing Meiosis I, and one set showing Meiosis II. To repeat, the slides are unlabeled so the students don’t know which process is occurring in which set. However, the students know that the common pea plant has 14 total chromosomes (or 7 pairs of chromosomes). Explain carefully what Student J would be looking for at the…

A diploid species has four chromosomes per set for a total of eightchromosomes in its somatic cells. Draw such a cell as it wouldlook in late prophase of meiosis II and prophase of mitosis. Discuss how prophase of meiosis II and prophase of mitosis differfrom each other, and explain how the difference originates.

In regards to MEIOSIS, give the order of the following events in terms of chromosome number.   Question 8 options:   meiosis 2 and cytokinesis   a total of four cells, each containing 23 chromosomes   one cell containing 46 chromosomes   meiosis 1 and cytokinesis   one cell containing 92 chromosomes   two cells containing 46 chromosomes
