Question

I know the answer is A, but what ploidy would make metaphase II (choice D) the correct answer? ttu.blackboard.com .anapnase oi meiosis I a. metapnase or mItosis; D.Imetapnase or meioSIS d. anaphase of meiosis II; d. metaphase of meiosis II I; 14. Identify the stage of cell division and the diploid number of the cell in figure below. I- a. metaphase of mitosis, 2n = 4; b. metaphase I of meiosis, 2n = 4 d. metaphase II of meiosis, 2n-4 c. metaphase I of meiosis, 2n-8 e. none of these choices 15. Identify the stage of cell division and the diploid number of the cell in figure below.

Explanation / Answer

Number of set of homologous chromosome in a genome of a cell is called ploidy.

Meiosis1 reduce the ploidy level that is from 2n to n . But meiosis 2 does not.

Metaphase 2 of meiosis is similar to metaphase of mitosis. Metaphase 2 is only found in meiosis. Ploidy level does not change in meiosis 2 . In metaphase 2 of meiosis chromosome align at equatorial line and attach to the centromere through spindle fiber.
