You observe a cell that is in prophase II of meiosis. You count 18 chromosomes, 36 chromatids and 36 DNA molecules. Answer the following questions: (a) What is the diploid number of the original parental cell? Explain your reasonings. (b) What will be the haploid number in the resulting gamete at the end of meiosis? Explain your reasoning.

Meiosis is an important cellular process for organisms that reproduce sexually. Two lab partners (A and B) are shown this diagram of a meiotic cell and asked to identify its phase. Partner A believes that this cell is in prophase of the first meiotic division. Partner B believes that this cell has moved past prophase of meiosis I and is in a later phase of meiosis. Which partner is correct, and what evidence accurately would defend their belief? Partner A is correct. The chromosomes have clearly replicated during interphase and are beginning to decondense into chromatin. O Partner A is correct. The nuclear membrane is beginning to re-form and centrioles are beginning to migrate to opposite poles of the cell. Partner B is correct. Homologous chromosomes are no longer paired together, so the cell must be in first phase of meiosis II, not meiosis I. O Partner B is correct. The cell plate is beginning to form between the two centrioles, indicating the cell is actually in later phase of…
Formation of Gametes The following cell completed interphase and replicated the chromosomes for meiosis. During the formation of gametes, the chromosomes failed to separate properly during meiosis. Complete the table below by indicating the two possible stages in meiosis where nondisjunction could occur and the possible combination of gametes.

In a description of meiosis the terms ‘chromosome’ and ‘chromatid’ may be used. Distinguish between these two terms. There are 56 chromosomes in a mature elephant cell. If one of the elephants cells responsible for gamete production undergoes meiosis, how many chromosomes would be present in each cell after meiosis I, and then after meiosis II. Explain your reasoning.

O diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids. O haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single chromatid. O haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two chromatids.
