Mice have 40 chromosomes per diploid cell (2n=40). How many double-stranded DNA molecules and how many chromosomes are there in a mouse cell that is in prophase during mitosis?
Hemal K.
Mice have a diploid number of 2n = 40. How many chromosomes will be present in the following cell types? For each, indicate whether the cell is haploid (H) or diploid (D). (1pt) a) primary oocyte b) secondary spermatocyte c) first polar body d) a cell that has undergone the second meiotic division How many sister chromatids will be present in these same cell types in mice? (1pt) a) primary oocyte b) secondary spermatocyte c) first polar body d) a cell that has undergone the second meiotic division

A diploid organism with a 45,000 -kb haploid genome contains $21 \%$ G residues. Calculate the number of $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{C}, \mathrm{G},$ and $\mathrm{T}$ residues in the DNA of each cell in this organism.
