Summary Introduction

To determine:

The change in chromosomes of daughter cells if centromere does not split during anaphase.

Concept introduction:

Anaphase is the phase in which the centromere splits and some spindle fibers become short as they pull the sister chromatids toward opposite poles of the cell.

Define centromere
A somatic cell has 46 chromosomes aligned at metaphase. How many chromosomes are present at anaphase, immediately after the centromeres have split?
Draw and label G1 and G2 stages of interphase and each stage of mitosis (in order) for a cell that has two large and two small chromosomes, 2n=4. For unreplicated chromosome draw a line ( / ) and for replicated chromosome draw an X. Since we are focusing on the DNA, you can skip drawing the nuclear membrane or spindle fibers. For simplicity, do not indicate that the chromosomes are decondensed chromatin during interphase.  Mark and label a place on one of the large chromosomes with the dominant allele of the “A” gene and put the recessive allele “a” on the other homolog. Mark and label a place on one of the small chromosomes with allele “B” and put the recessive allele “b” on the other homolog.
