I need help answering both these questions Question 5: 1. A diploid cell contains three pairs of homologous chromosomes: A1 and A2, B1 and B2, and C1 and C2. Assuming no crossing-over occurs, what possible combinations of chromosomes will be present in: a) daughter cells following mitosis: b) metaphase I of meiosis: Solution 1. A)In mitosis the daugther produced are genetically identical , so all the geneticall material is being inherited from mother cells to daughter cells, So the only possibility is A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2. Since all the genetic material is being transfered from the parent cell to daughter cells B) The Meiosis 1 is meant to split the homologus pair into different cells, which will now be n ( Haploid) , So there can be 8 possible combinations of chromosomes, So if we take an example it could inherit A1/B1/C1 or A2/M1/S1.

Question 5: 1. A diploid cell contains three pairs of homologous chromosomes: A1 and A2, B1
and B2, and C1 and C2. Assuming no crossing-over occurs, what possible combinations of
chromosomes will be present in: a) daughter cells following mitosis: b) metaphase I of meiosis:
Solution
1. A)In mitosis the daugther produced are genetically identical , so all the geneticall material is
being inherited from mother cells to daughter cells, So the only possibility is
A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2. Since all the genetic material is being transfered from the parent cell to
daughter cells
B) The Meiosis 1 is meant to split the homologus pair into different cells, which will now be n (
Haploid) , So there can be 8 possible combinations of chromosomes, So if we take an example it
could inherit A1/B1/C1 or A2/M1/S1
