Copy and complete Table 3. Compare the chromosome number in the organisms before, during, and at the end of meiosis. Indicate whether the chromosome number is haploid or diploid.

Question

^^ this is the table

Answer 1

It's important to understand that Meiosis I is the reductive division, meaning chromosome number goes from 2n to n, and ploidy goes from diploid to haploid.

Organisms: Human Earthworm Hedgehog Broccoli

Diploid number: 46 36 90 18

Number of pairs of homologous chromosomes: 23 18 45 9

Haploid number after Meiosis I: 23 18 45 9

Hapoloid number after Meiosis II: 23 18 45 9

Number of pairs of homologs after Meiosis II: 0 0 0 0
