Question

Elephants have 56 chromosomes in every cell. Determine how many chromosomes you would expect to find in the following
a. Sperm Cell:
b. Egg Cell
c. Daughter Cell from Mitosis
d. Daughter Cell from Meiosis II

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Sperm Cell: 28 chromosomes

2. Egg Cell: 28 chromosomes

3. Daughter Cell from Mitosis : 56 chromosomes

4. Daughter Cell from Meiosis II : 28 chromosomes

Explanation:

A cell can divide by two cell division methods: mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is a type of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cell with an equal number of chromosomes or same genetic material.

This type of method is usually observed in the somatic cells of the organisms. Meiosis is a type of cell division which divides the cell into four cells with a reduced number of chromosomes to half the number.

In the given question, since the cell contains 56 chromosomes, therefore, after mitosis which is equational division will produce daughter cell with the same number of chromosomes that is 56 chromosomes.

After meiosis, the chromosome number will be reduced to half that is cell formed will contain 28 chromosomes. Since the gametes are formed as a result of the meiosis, therefore, each gamete that is sperm cell and egg cell will have 28 chromosomes each.

Answer 2

Part(a): So, 28 chromosomes are present.

Part(b): So, 28 chromosomes are present in the Egg Cell

Part(c): After mitosis, the numbered of daughter cells is 56.

Part(d): After meiosis II the number of daughter cells is 28.

Chromosomes:

All living organisms have chromosomes humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs of these chromosomes are called autosomes – these are identical in males and females. The 23rd pair of chromosomes are called allosomes and they differ between the same. Males have one “X” and “Y” chromosome, while females have two copies of the “X” chromosome.

Part(a):

The  cell is a male gamete so half the number of the chromosome will be present, thus 28 chromosome

Part(b):

The Egg cell is a female gamete so half the number of the chromosome will be present, thus 28 chromosome

Part(c):

After mitosis, the chromosome number in the daughter cell will be the same as the parent's cell, thus it would be 56

Part(d):

After meiosis II, chromosome number in the daughter cell will be half the number of the parent cell, thus it would be 28
