Use the following information as the basis for answering all questions: A diploid eukaryotic organism has 4 unique chromosomes. Chromosome I is metacentric, chromosome II is telocentric, chromosome III is a submetacentric, and chromosome IV is acrocentric.
15. Draw a detailed picture of a germ cell from this organism in Metaphase of Meiosis I and label all components and label all chromosomal and cellular components. Be sure to label each chromosome (I, II, III, or IV) and include the following in your drawing: centrosomes, 3 kinds of microtubules, metaphase/equatorial plate, and plasma membrane. Use the letter p to indicate a paternal chromosome and m to indicate a maternal chromosome. READ and FOLLOW ALL instructions carefully and completely.

b) How many total chromatids are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Metaphase of Meiosis I?
c) How many total telomeres are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Metaphase of Meiosis I?
d) How many total chromosomes are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Anaphase of Meiosis I?
e) How many total chromatids are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Anaphase of Meiosis I?
d) How many total telomeres are in a germ cell in the ovary of this organism that is in Anaphase of Meiosis I?
