Questions

  1. 1.

    In an orbital terrarium, bioengineers cultivate a synthetic flowering plant, Astrarosea, whose diploid germ cells possess a chromosome number of 2n=122n = 12. A microfluidic imaging probe tracks a single pollen mother cell through the successive stages of meiosis to evaluate spore development. The probe captures and analyzes the genetic material within the two daughter cells immediately following telophase I and cytokinesis, prior to the onset of meiosis II. Which statement accurately describes the chromosomal composition of each daughter cell at this exact stage?

    • A) Each daughter cell contains 6 chromosomes, with each chromosome composed of two sister chromatids.
    • B) Each daughter cell contains 12 chromosomes, with each chromosome composed of two sister chromatids.
    • C) Each daughter cell contains 6 chromosomes, with each chromosome composed of a single chromatid.
    • D) Each daughter cell contains 12 chromosomes, with each chromosome composed of a single chromatid.
