a single cell with seven pairs of homologous chromosomes goes through meiosis 1. how many cells result at the end of meiosis 1? how many chromosomes exist in each cell? are the chromosomes in each cell duplicated or not?

Respuesta :

At the end of meiosis I, there are two cells, each cell has seven chromosomes and the chromosomes in each cell are duplicated.

some features of meiotic division:

  • Meiosis I and Meiosis II are the two stages of nuclear and cellular division in which it occurs. However, DNA replication only occurs once.
  • Recombination between homologous chromosome pairs is what it entails.
  • At the end, four haploid daughter cells are produced.

The diploid cell is transformed into a haploid one during Meiosis I, which separates the pair of homologous chromosomes. It is divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase stages.

  • Prophase I: The first stage of meiosis I, and it is made up of five stages: diplotene, leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, and diakinesis.  homologous recombination occurs, which involves the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes, and the crossover at chiasmata (singular: chiasma) between non-sister chromatids. The nuclear membrane and nucleolus break down at the conclusion of this stage.
  • Metaphase I: Microtubules from opposite poles attach to the pairs of homologous chromosomes, and bivalents align at the equatorial plate.
  • Anaphase I:  The two bivalent chromosomes of each cell split and move to opposite ends of the cell. There is a connection between the sister chromatids.
  • Telophase I: The nuclear membrane resurfaces, and cytokinesis follows. A pair of cells are formed as a result.

Thus, Each daughter cell will have half of the original 7 Pair of homologous chromosomes i.e, 7 chromosomes which are duplicated.
