Question

diploid cell that contains three pairs of chromosomes designated AA , BB, and CC. Each pair contains a maternal and a paternal member (e.g., Am and Ap, etc.). *In mitosis, what chromatid combination(s) will be present during metaphase

Answer 1

The combination of chromatids in metaphase will be :

AmAm

ApAp

BmBm

BpBp

CmCm

CpCp

Step-by-step explanation:

Maternal and paternal chromosomes are now in metaphase so it means they would have duplicated as during prophase chromosomes split into chromatids. however, There is no tetrad in mitosis and move to the equator.

So, maternal and paternal chromatids will not mix or pair with one other. Therefore. the combination of chromatid pairs that will be present during metaphase are:

AmAm

ApAp

BmBm

BpBp

CmCm

CpCp
