Question

A diploid cell contains three pairs of homologous chromosomes designated C1 and C2, M1 and M2 and S1 and S2. No crossing over occurs. a. What combination of chromosomes are possible in daughter cells following mitosis? What combination of chromosomes are possible in haploid cells following both divisions of meiosis ?

Answer 1

1. C1/C2/M1/M2/S1/S2

And I'm working on the second one, gimme a sec. :)

Answer 2

2. C1/M1/S1, or C2/M1/S1, or C1/M2/S1, etc

Answer 3

In mitosis, two genetically identical daughter cells are produced. Therefore, the only possible combination of chromosomes is C1/C2/M1/M2/S1/S2 since all genetic material is inherited.

Answer 4

Here's the full answer to the second: C1/M1/S1, or C1/M1/S2 or C2/M1/S1, or C1/M2/S1, or C1/M2/S2 or C2/M1/S1 or C2/M2/S1 or C2/M2/S2.

Answer 5

thanks how did you derive to this ansewer

Answer 6

I explained it above lol What don't you understand? :)

Answer 7
