Question: Human cells normally have forty-six chromosomes. Let us define the transition from one cell to two cells as occurring at the onset of anaphase. What is the number of nuclear DNA molecules present in a human cell in metaphase I of meiosis?
Question 9 options:
46 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 46 physically separate chromosomes in each of two nuclei.
92 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 46 chromosomes each with two chromatids.
46 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 23, each with two chromatids, chromosomes in each of two nuclei.
23 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 23 chromosomes in each of two nuclei.
46 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 46 chromosomes just prior to DNA synthesis.
