The arctic fox has a diploid number of 50 an arctic fox was forming gametes by meiosis, how many chromosomes would be visible in prophase 17 Are the chromosomes replicated or non-replicated? a. 2. 50; unreplicated
b. 28; replicated
c. 100, replicated
d. 25: unreplicated
e. 6.50; Replicated

50 visible chromosomes and replicated.

Explanation:

When we talk about the cell cycle, we refer to the interphase and the cell division (mitosis or meiosis).

Interphase is composed of stages G1, S, and G2. During the S stage, the DNI replication process occurs. This is the only stage in which the DNI molecule replicates. The synthesis of histones and other associated proteins also occurs.

Meiosis occurs after the interphase is over.

Meiosis produces four daughter haploid cells (n) from a diploid germ cell (2n). Each daughter cell is haploid because they have half the number of chromosomes of the original one.

At the beginning of prophase 1, DNI is condensed in a well-defined chromosome formed by two sister chromatids joined by a centromere. Each chromosome carefully pairs with its homologous chromosome. Homologous chromosomes aline together to make the crossing-over possible, the stage where they interchange their parts.

The whole set of chromosomes is present in prophase 1. The reduction occurs later.

So if the germ cell has 50 chromosomes, the same 50 will be visible during prophase 1. DNA has already been replicated during the S stage of interphase.

bradykinin is a physiologically and pharmacologically active peptide of the kinin group of proteins, consisting of nine amino acids.
