A cell with the diploid number of 46 is divided by mitosis. Two daughter cells are formed, one with 45 chromosomes and one with 47 chromosomes. During which phase of mitosis did the error occur that resulted in these abnormal chromosome numbers?

Step 1
In prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible. In metaphase, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate. In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. In telophase, the chromosomes decondense, and the nuclear Show more…

A cell a cell has 38 chromosomes. After mitosis and cell division one daughter cell has 39 chromosomes and the other has 37. What might have caused these abnormal chromosome numbers. What effect do you suppose this might have on cell function. Why?

10. If the number of chromosomes were not reduced during meiosis, how many chromosomes would a human gamete have? How many chromosomes would result after fertilization? 12. Occasionally, errors occur during meiosis that result in an incorrect number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. During which phase(s) of meiosis are these errors likely to occur? Explain.
