The diagram shows some chromosomes at late prophase of mitosis.How many chromosomes would be present in one nucleus at telophase-II of meiosis? (a) 6 (b) 12 (c) 18 (d) 24 |
Answer» Correct option is (a) 6 There are 12 chromosomes present. In a mitotic division, the number of chromosomes remains the same, i.e. 2n → 2n. In a meiotic division, the number is halved, i.e., 2n → n so, there should only be 6 chromosomes in the nucleus. |
