Q. 4
A cell has 32 chromosomes. It undergoes mitotic division. What will be the chromosome number (N) during metaphase? What would be the DNA content (C) during anaphase?
Answer :
Both N and C will be 32.
This is due the fact that DNA is replicated during S phase, after that it would remain the same during equational division.

PREVIOUSLabel the diagram and also determine the stage at which this structure is visible.NEXTWhile examining the mitotic stage in a tissue, one finds some cells with 16 chromosomes and some with 32 chromosomes. What possible reasons could you assign to this difference in chromosome number. Do you think cells with 16 chromosomes could have arisen from cells with 32 chromosomes or vice versa?
