| Observe the given diagram of meiosis and germ cell formation in a cell with four chromosomes and answer the questions that follows. |
 |
| (v) If a gamete has 16 chromosomes, what will be the number of chromatids before anaphase-I? |
A) 8
B) 16
C) 32
D) 64
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] After anaphase-I, the chromosome number doubles. As after anaphase-I, the number of chromosomes is 16. So, before anaphase-I, the number of chromosome would be \[n=\frac{16}{2}=8\] So, the cell has progressed from having 8 chromosomes to 16 chromosomes after anaphase-I.
