Which statement correctly describes human chromosomes after meiosis I?   Human gametes end up with one of each type of 23 chromosomes.   Human gametes end up with one of each type of 22 chromsomes.   There are 46 chromosomes in each cell.   The haploid number is 22

Every somatic cell in a human contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. Pairs 1 to 22 are autosomes, while pair 23 are the sex chromosomes. The pairs are described as homologous chromosomes. Answer the following questions about homologous chromosomes: Where do the chromosomes that make up each pair come from? Explain how the terms homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids are different.  In genetic males, there is one pair that is not homologous. Identify the pair and explain why.

Use the following information as the basis for answering all questions: A diploid eukaryotic organism has 4 unique chromosomes. Chromosome I is metacentric, chromosome II is telocentric, chromosome III is a submetacentric, and chromosome IV is acrocentric. 16. How many total chromosomes are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Metaphase of Meiosis I? 17. How many total chromatids are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Metaphase of Meiosis I? 18. How many total telomeres are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Metaphase of Meiosis I?19. How many total chromosomes are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Anaphase of Meiosis I? 20. How many total chromatids are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Anaphase of Meiosis I? 21. How many total telomeres are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Anaphase of Meiosis I?

Construct a table similar to that in Figure 2.12 for the different stages of meiosis, giving the number of chromosomes per cell and the number of DNA molecules per cell for a cell that begins with 4 chromosomes (two homologous pairs) in G1. Include the following stages in your table: G1, S, G2, prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I (after cytokinesis), prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II (after cytokinesis).
