Question

23 multiple choice 2 points identify the stage of mitosis in the image below. metaphase telophase anaphase prophase 24 multiple choice 2 points if a muscle cell of a typical organism has 32 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be in a gamete of that same organism? 64 16 8 32

Explanation:

Step1: Identify mitosis stage in image

In the image, sister - chromatids are being pulled to opposite poles, which is characteristic of anaphase.

Step2: Solve chromosome number in gamete

Muscle cells are somatic cells (diploid). Gametes are haploid. If a diploid somatic cell has 32 chromosomes, a gamete will have half the number. So, $32\div2 = 16$.

Answer:

1. C. anaphase
2. B. 16
