These are helpful, do you make these questions up yourself??

Also, can someone explain #7. My reasoning is that there are 10 chromosomes so by anaphase they are split so 5 chromosomes in each daughter would = 10 chromatids. Is this correct, and does this mean that at metaphase there would be 20 chromatids. Thanks

Good job people most did very well....
 
Is the answer to #7 correct? I thought that at the beginning of both mitosis and meiosis there were 2N chromosomes and 4N chromatids. There will still be 2N chromasomes and 4N chromatids until the end of Telophase I, then each cell will have 1N chromosomes and 2N chromatids. At the end of Telophase II each cell will have 1N chromosomes and 1N chromatids. That would make 20 chromatids (and 10 chromosomes) present at the end of Anaphase I. That is my impression anyway.

The key here is that 10 represents the diploid number, meaning that it already includes the homologous chromosomes so you do not need to multiply it again by 2. Now solve it!
 
Good test as usual. Thanks OSIMS. However, the answer to 7 should be 20 [d].
I got all of them right except 11 and also the one about the sea urchin. I doubt if we are supposed to know that much in detail about the sear urchin and all that stuff. I mean, the Ca+ being responsible for the block of polyspermy seems to be a very detailed question. Agree?
BTW, I'm waiting for test number 5. Hurry up! lol
explanation for 7 : in anaphase I, you still have the same number of chromosomes, which are moving toward the poles. Each chromosome still has two chromatids. so you will have 10 x 2 chromatids. Don't know how you came up with 10!
By the way, where do you get the questions from?

I believe the question says that 2N=10. Meiosis I goes from 2N ---> N. so now each cell has N=5 chromosomes. Each chromosome has 2 chromatids, so 5 x 2 = 10

You are correct I messed up, it is supposed to be 20 chromatids....because the cell has not split yet, so there are still 20 chromatids in the cell, only after telophase I will the chromatid number be reduced to 10...my bad everyone...20 is the right number. Thats pretty important stuff, good eye

wait I don't understand this...can you plz explain?

Mstoothlady, check it again. that is at the end of meiosis I [Telophase I] when 2n---> n. In anaphase I, you still have all the chromosomes intact in one cell, just moving to the poles. Each chromosome still has 2 chromatics. [the chromatics are separated in anaphase II].

*****There is no replication, once meiosis starts!! Replication of DNA is at the S phase, which is before G2 .
 
Members don't see this ad :)
ooohhh!!! I get it....Meiosis I is not complete yet...so we are are still in 2N....nvm lol

yes I just realized...thnx. sorry for the confusion! little tricky there.
 
lol...uhh!! meannnn:(:laugh:
Lol, sorry for the joke:D I have been doing these types of 2N, N problems since my junior high school year in Europe [Not in U.S]. That is why I never miss any of them. They are not actually hard ones as they look to be. Anyone who can visualize the entire cycle in their head, will be able to ace those problems in 10 secs.
I sent you a message. When are you taking DAT?
 
Harrygt...can you just explain the 2N and N chromosomes. When we mention the diploid 2N number does that mean that we have 10 chromosomes??? So 20 chromatids. And so in mitosis this number will always stay the same while in meiosis it will be halved after telophase. Thanks
 
Here is an example (correct me if i am wrong):

2N=20

Meiosis Prophase I: 40 chromatids, 20 sister chromatids, 20 chromosomes
Meiosis Metaphase I: 40 chromatids, 20 sister chromatids, 20 chromosomes
Meiosis Anaphase I: 40 chromatids, 20 sister chromatids, 20 chromosomes
Meiosis Telophase I: 20 chromatids, 10 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes

Meiosis Prophase II: 20 chromatids, 10 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes
Meiosis Metaphase II: 20 chromatids, 10 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes
Meiosis Anaphase II: 20 chromatids, 0 sister chromatids, 20 chromosomes
Meiosis Telophase II: 10 chromatids, 0 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes

i had a question about the 2n and N and what specifically do they represent is it if it says n=5 that means you have 5 chromosomes and if it is 2n=10 that means you have 5 homologous chromosomes so u have in fact 10 chromosomes?

sweetpea, ok, whenever we say 2n or n, we are only and only talking about the number of chromosomes. For finding the number of chromatids, you gotta have a good understanding of the cell cycle and anything that happens at each stage.
Lets say 2n = 10, this means the begining cell which is supposed to start the cycle [in prophase] has 10 chromosomes [5 pairs of homologous chromosomes]. Now you gotta know that all chromosomes in prophase have 2 chromatics , so that would give you 20 chromatics in prophase I.
Anaphase one is the same as prophase, the only differece being the separation of chromosomes to the poles.
Please come up with a more clear question in the second part of your previous post. I did not get what you meant. Mitosis is pretty much different. It looks like Meiosis II.

Here are 3 questions I will post for anyone who would like to answer.:

1) There are 16 chromatics at the end of anaphase II in the cell. What was the number of chromosomes in Prophase I?

2) A cell has 60 DNA molecules in prophase I. How many centromeres are there at the end of anaphase II?

3) A gamete has 10 DNA molecules. WHat was the 2n chromosomal number in the primary spermatocyte [prophase I]?

Answers will come later.
 
Here is an example (correct me if i am wrong):

2N=20

Meiosis Prophase I: 40 chromatids, 20 sister chromatids, 20 chromosomes
Meiosis Metaphase I: 40 chromatids, 20 sister chromatids, 20 chromosomes
Meiosis Anaphase I: 40 chromatids, 20 sister chromatids, 20 chromosomes
Meiosis Telophase I: 20 chromatids, 10 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes

Meiosis Prophase II: 20 chromatids, 10 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes
Meiosis Metaphase II: 20 chromatids, 10 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes
Meiosis Anaphase II: 20 chromatids, 0 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes
Meiosis Telophase II: 10 chromatids, 0 sister chromatids, 10 chromosomes

OsimsDDS, You gotta a small mistake in the Meiosis Anaphase II. It should be 20 chromatids, and 20! chromosomes. you have to consider that once the sister chromatids are separated, each chromatid is called a chromosome now.
Good job anyway!
 
1) There are 16 chromatics at the end of anaphase II in the cell. What was the number of chromosomes in Prophase I?
16 chromotids mean u have 8 chromsome but it split once so in prophase u have 64 chrmotids so 16 chromosome


2) A cell has 60 DNA molecules in prophase I. How many centromeres are there at the end of anaphase II? wtf molecules well dna is wrapped together therefore each chrmosome i guess can be considered one molecule..... so u would have so it would split 2 so 15 chromosome



3) A gamete has 10 DNA molecules. WHat was the 2n chromosomal number in the primary spermatocyte [prophase I]? 40?

Answers will come later.

sweetpea, ok, whenever we say 2n or n, we are only and only talking about the number of chromosomes. For finding the number of chromatids, you gotta have a good understanding of the cell cycle and anything that happens at each stage.
Lets say 2n = 10, this means the begining cell which is supposed to start the cycle [in prophase] has 10 chromosomes [5 pairs of homologous chromosomes]. Now you gotta know that all chromosomes in prophase have 2 chromatics , so that would give you 20 chromatics in prophase I.
Anaphase one is the same as prophase, the only differece being the separation of chromosomes to the poles.
Please come up with a more clear question in the second part of your previous post. I did not get what you meant. Mitosis is pretty much different. It looks like Meiosis II.

Here are 3 questions I will post for anyone who would like to answer.:

1) There are 16 chromatics at the end of anaphase II in the cell. What was the number of chromosomes in Prophase I? 16 chromosomes, 16 sister chromatids, 32 chromatids during prophase I

2) A cell has 60 DNA molecules in prophase I. How many centromeres are there at the end of anaphase II? 30 centromeres? I am assuming by DNA molecule you mean 60 = 2N but not sure

3) A gamete has 10 DNA molecules. WHat was the 2n chromosomal number in the primary spermatocyte [prophase I]? Again not sure what you mean by DNA molecules...chromosomes??? N=10, primary spermatocyte = 2N = 20

Answers will come later.

nice
 
OsimsDDS, You gotta a small mistake in the Meiosis Anaphase II. It should be 20 chromatids, and 20! chromosomes. you have to consider that once the sister chromatids are separated, each chromatid is called a chromosome now.
Good job anyway!

I actually got that one the first time I read :D yay!!

16 chromatids means you have 16 chromosomes...each chromatid at the end of anaphase II = 1 chromosome

Regarding the question dealing with DNA molecules.... Each chromatid is composed of one molecule of DNA + some proteins + water.
Let's say the cell has 20 DNA molecules. HOw many chromosomes are there? WE DON'T KNOW!!! There are definitely 20 chromatids out there, but for the number of chromosomes, First you have to figure out whether your chromosomes have one chromatid or two by using your knowledge about the stages. Osimdds, you got all the answers right, however, I think you got the answer to the second one accidentally. Number of DNA = Number of chromatids [not necessarily equal to the number of chromosomes, but it could be as I explained]. Hit me up with questions if you have any.
 
to MSLADY2012..Number of centromeres in a cell is always equal to the number of CHROMOSOMES in the cell. This can't be zero. Also refer to my previous answer.
I thought centromere holds 2 sister chromatids together. After anaphase II we dont have any sister chromatids. All we have is 1 chromatid/chromosome. I dont get it???

Each chromosome has one centromere, no matter it is made of one or two chromatids. WHen the two sister chromatids of a chromosome get separated in anaphase II, you get two chromosomes [each made of one chromatid now], and therefore you have two centromeres [equal to number of chromosomes].
Let me say it this way: a centromere holds two sister chromatids together, but it is also present in chromosomes that have only one chromatid.
Actually, if you wanna get into more details: centromere is composed of a protein. During the separation of sister chromatids, centromere replicates [has nothing to do with DNA rep]. Ok, this is too much. Just know that the number of centromeres is always equal to the number of chromosomes.

ok! thanks....I am starting to forget my genetics. Its been 1 yr.
 
FINAL ANSWERS

Here are 3 questions I will post for anyone who would like to answer.:

1) There are 16 chromatics at the end of anaphase II in the cell. What was the number of chromosomes in Prophase I? 16

There are 2n chromosomes at the end of anaphase II [remember: each separated chromatid is a chromosome now]. so if 2n = 16, then that is exactly what we were looking for! we were looking for the number of chromosomes in prophase I which is 2n. [the answer can be interpreted in different ways]

2) A cell has 60 DNA molecules in prophase I. How many centromeres are there at the end of anaphase II? 30

60 DNA = 60 Chromatids in prophase I = 30 chromosomes in prophase I = 15 chromosomes at metaphase II and also the begining of anaphase II = 30 chromosomes at the end of anaphase II = 30 centromeres. [number of centromeres is always equal to the number of CHROMOSOMES]

3) A gamete has 10 DNA molecules. WHat was the 2n chromosomal number in the primary spermatocyte [prophase I]? 20

10 DNA = 10 chromatids at telophase II [the gamete] = 10 chromosomes at telophase II [remember: each chromosome is made of only on chromatid in a gamete] ----> n = 10, so 2n in a spermatocyte would be equal to 20
