if a diploid cell contains 20 chromosomes, how many DNA molecules will be present during metaphase of mitosis?
Added by Elizabeth G.
Step 1
Step 1: During the DNA synthesis phase, the number of chromosomes remains 20, but each chromosome is duplicated, resulting in 40 chromatids. Show more…

If a eukaryotic cell has 20 chromosomes and it undergoes meiosis, how many cells will result, and how many chromosomes will they contain? A. 4 haploid cells, each with 10 chromosomes B. 4 haploid cells, each with 10 chromosomes C. 4 haploid cells, each with 10 chromosomes D. 2 diploid cells, each with 20 chromosomes

If the haploid number of chromosomes in humans is 23 and the amount of nuclear DNA in a sperm is $1 \mathrm{C}$, how many chromosomes does a human cell possess in the following stages: metaphase of mitosis, prophase I of meiosis, anaphase I of meiosis I, prophase II of meiosis, anaphase II of meiosis. How many chromatids does the cell have at each of these stages? How much DNA (in terms of numbers of $\mathrm{C}$ ) does the cell have at each of these stages?
