Each body cell of a chimpanzee contains 48 chromosomes. After mitosis, how many chromosomes are present in each cell?

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the number of chromosomes in the parent cell is similar to the daughter cell. Mitosis occurs in the somatic cells.

The chromosomes present in the Chimpanzee's cell after mitosis are 48 chromosomes.

The mitosis can be explained as:

1. Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the number of chromosomes in the daughter and parent cells are similar.

2. During the DNA replication process, the DNA is duplicated and separated into the individual two daughter cells.

Thus, the cells with 48 chromosomes will give rise to daughter cells consisting of 48 chromosomes.

During both mitosis and meiosis, DNA replicates first during S phase of interphase. Each copy (DNA molecule) is called chromatid. Before anaphase they remain together, joined by the centromere in the chromosome.

Part 1: How many chromatids and chromosomes are present at:

(a) anaphase of mitosis: During this phase sister chromatids split. We would have 48 chromosomes in each pole and 48 chromatides.

(b) anaphase I of meiosis: During this phase homologous chromosomes split, being a reductional division. In each pole we will have half the chromosomes we had after DNA replication. This is 24 chromosomes but 48 chromatides (remember they will split during anaphase II).

(c) anaphase II of meiosis: This is an equational division, we will have 24 chromosomes in each pole and 24 chromatides. Each chromatid is considered a chromosome.

(d) G1 prior to mitosis: During this phase DNA has not replicated yet and it is not condensed either. This formed is called chromatin. We will assign one chromatid for each chromosome. This is a somatic cell, so: 48 chromosomes and 48 chromatids.

(e) G2 prior to mitosis: After S phase, we have duplicated all chromosomes. We will assign two chromatids per chromosome: this is 96 chromatides and 48 chromosomes.

(f) G1 prior to meiosis: Before DNA duplication, 48 chromosomes, 48 chromatids.

(g) Prophase of meiosis I: After DNA replication, condensation of the chromatin takes place: 48 chromosomes, 96 chromatids.

Part 2: How many chromatids or chromosomes are present in:

(h) An oogonial cell prior to S phase: This is G1 phase, 48 chromosomes.

(i) A spermatide: This is the male haploid gametid, after meiosis: 24 chromosomes and 24 chromatids.

(j) A primary oocyte arrested prior to ovulation: They are arrested at prophase I of meiosis. This means their DNA is still duplicated and chromatides have not divided yet. 48 chromosomes and 96 chromatids.

(k) A secondary oocyte arrested prior to fertilization: They are halted at metaphase II of meiosis, meaning they have half the chromosomes (24) but chromatids are still together (48).

(l) A second polar body: They suffered the same process as the mature ovum but remained with little cytoplasm. They have 24 chromosomes and 24 chromatids.

(m) A chimpanzee sperm: They have completed both meiosis as well, they have 24 chromosomes and 24 chromatids.

i believe the answer is c

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.

hope this , have a good day. c;
