Why would the supercoiled, condensed formof chromosomes seen in metaphase not besuitable for the G1 phase of the cell cycle?Why would the finely dispersed chromatinof the G1 phase not be suitable for mitosis?
The same chromosome can look very different depending on when in meiosis it is observed. Explain fully why this is so and also why the chromosome is less condensed during some parts of the cell cycle? How many DNA molecules does each chromosome contain at the beginning of Prophase I? Use the following terms in your explanation: chromatin, histone, chromatid, centromere.
What would happen after some cell divisions if the cell cycle consisted only of S-phase and M-phase. Explain why.
