Question
At the metaphase plate, what is the maximum number of alignments?
- 2n
- 3n
- N
- 4n
Hint:
23 pairs of chromosomes pair up during metaphase.
The correct answer is: 2n
- Cell division results in the increase in number of cells.
- Cell division can be through mitosis or meiosis.
- Before cell division, the chromosomes duplicate. As a result, 23 pairs of chromosomes will line up at the metaphase plate of the dividing cell.
- Hence, 2n number of chromosomes will line up at the equator of the cell.
