Question

in a human somatic cell (normal body cell) that is in g2, what would be true about chromosome number and structure? check all that apply these cells would be considered haploid (n). the chromosomes would be in the replicated state. the chromosomes would be attached to microtubules at their centromeres. these cells would contain homologous chromosomes. these cells would contain sister chromatids. the chromosomes will be aligned in the middle of the cell.

Explanation:

1. Human somatic cells are diploid (2n), not haploid (n), so the first option is incorrect.
2. During the G2 phase, DNA replication has occurred in the S - phase, so chromosomes are replicated and consist of sister chromatids.
3. Attachment of chromosomes to microtubules at centromeres occurs during mitosis (specifically in prometaphase), not in G2 phase.
4. Somatic cells contain homologous chromosomes.
5. As mentioned, due to DNA replication in S - phase, sister chromatids are present in G2 phase.
6. Chromosome alignment in the middle of the cell occurs during metaphase of mitosis, not in G2 phase.

Answer:

The chromosomes would be in the replicated state.
These cells would contain homologous chromosomes.
These cells would contain sister chromatids.
