Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During G1 phase, a human cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). This is the normal diploid number of chromosomes for a human cell.

Answer: A
 During meiosis I, a human cell has 23 chromosomes after the chromosomes have replicated during interphase. This is the haploid number of chromosomes for a human gamete.

Answer: D
 During metaphase of mitosis, a human cell has 92 chromosomes because each chromosome has replicated and consists of two sister chromatids.

Note: Choices C and E are not appropriate answers as there are no known stages of mitosis or meiosis where a human cell would have 69 or 108 chromosomes.
