Step 1
- Given: G = 21% - Since G pairs with C, C = 21% - Total percentage of G and C = 21% + 21% = 42% - Remaining percentage for A and T = 100% - 42% = 58% - Since A pairs with T, A = T = 58% / 2 = 29% Show more…

A cell of a diploid organism (2N = 44) is dividing through meiosis. How many chromosomes are in each cell during interkinesis? Enter your answer as a whole integer, without a decimal point, and please do not write out the number (e.g. enter "2", not "2.0", not "two").

Calculate the diploid, tetraploid, and octoploid number of chromosomes for this species if its haploid number is 11 chromosomes.

Peas (Pisum sativum) are diploid and $2 n=14 .$ In Neurospora, the haploid fungus, $n=7$. If you were to isolate genomic DNA from both species and use electrophoresis to separate DNA molecules by size, how many distinct DNA bands would be visible in each species?
