- 6) The plant Haplepoppus gracilis is diploid (2n = 4). Inside each cell (represented here by the oval) there are four total chromosomes: one long pair (represented by "A" and "a") and one short pair (represented by "B" and “b"). The following diagrams represent possible anaphases of this cell during meiosis or mitosis. The lines represent chromosomes/chromatids being pulled to either the north or south pole of the cell, and the vertex of each "V" represent the centromere which would be attached to kinetochore microtubules. For representative cells 1– 12, say if the diagram represents a cell in anaphase I of meiosis I, anaphase II of meiosis II, anaphase of mitosis, or shows an impossible situation. If the situation is impossible, explain why. い。 VA Vb VA VB VV.
