The mother of Family 2 has a haploid chromosome number of 23. How many chromatids are present in metaphase of the second meiotic division?
A. 23
B. 46
C. 69
D. 92
There is nothing in the passage to suggest abnormal meiosis in the mother.
The chapter describes chromatids as those pointy things you have 4 of in a tetrad or 2 of typical single chromosome.
Answer is not D, but B.
The book justifies B in that basically it implies "we mean per formed secondary gammete not total".
Am I supposed to be a mind reader or are there some supposed between the lines things I need to get used to understanding for the real MCAT?
