PLZ EXPLAIN MaxL221 07-10-2006, 11:32 AM Well you have 2 chromatid per chromosome so the answer would be 36 x 2 = 72 chromatid and prophase I is the start of cell division of sex chromosomes. However, in Prophase I (the first phase) cells have yet to undergo division. Therefore the answer is 72. That is how I would approach what is the answer? ddsjymaeng 07-10-2006, 02:22 PM it depends on when it started... is it at g1 or at s or g2 or any place later... if it is at g1 then it is gonna be 72 chromosomes so 144 chromatids... since during s stage it will replicate... if at s2 or g2 then it is 72...it stays the same 36 chromosomes.... hope it helps.... :love: |
