A cell has a diploid or 2N chromosome number of 24 in its somatic cells.How many chromatids would you expect to see in G₂?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

G₂ is not a recognizable term in genetics. Therefore, we cannot use it to determine the number of chromatids. However, we can use the diploid number of 24 to determine the total number of chromatids in the cell. During mitosis, each chromosome replicates to form two sister chromatids. Therefore, the total number of chromatids in the cell during mitosis would be: 2 x 24 = 48 Therefore, the best choice is C.
