The number of chromatids present at metaphase is:
Correct answer: A. Two each in mitosis and meiosisq
- A. Two each in mitosis and meiosisq
- B. Two in mitosis and one in meiosis
- C. Two in mitosis and four in meiosis
- D. One in mitosis and two in meiosis
Explanation
The number of chromatids at metaphase is two each in mitosis and meiosis. Chromatid is a half chromosome during duplication in early prophase and metaphase of mitosis and between diplotene and the second metaphase of meiosis. After these stages, chromatids are called daughter chromosomes.
