Patricia Hunt determined that bisphenol A (BPA) was hindering the process of meiosis in the ovaries of the mice in her experiment.BPA disrupted the ability of the chromosomes to separate into four haploid cells.Which of the following statements describes possible outcome(s) of this disruption?
A) All four resulting cells will have exactly half the number of chromosomes found in the mother cell.
B) Three of the resulting cells will have exactly half the number of chromosomes found in the mother cell. The fourth cell will have double the chromosome number found in the mother cell.
C) Two of the resulting cells will have exactly half the number of chromosomes found in the mother cell. The other two cells will have exactly triple the chromosome number found in the mother cell.
D) Two of the resulting cells may have exactly half the chromosome number of the mother cell. One cell may have half the chromosome number of the mother cell plus one or more extra chromosomes, while the remaining cell would have less than half the number of chromosomes found in the mother cell.
