Which statements describe differences between metaphase I and metaphase II? Check all that apply.

Chromosomes line up in the middle in metaphase I only.
Chromosomes condense in metaphase I only.
A cell has half the number of chromosomes in metaphase II.
There are twice the number of cells in metaphase II.
Spindle fibers exist in metaphase II only.

Respuesta :

A cell has half the number of chromosomes in metaphase II
There are twice the number of cells in metaphase II

I think those are the correct ones :)

The correct answer is C and D.

C. A cell has half the number of chromosomes in metaphase 2

D. There are twice the number of cells in metaphase 2

The difference between metaphase 1 and metaphase 2 is that in metaphase 2 the chromosomes are arranged on a metaphase plate while in metaphase 1 the pairs of chromosomes are arranged in metaphase plate.

Two centromeres where each homologous chromosome are attached to in metaphase 1. In metaphase the microtubules get attached to spindle whereby on the metaphase plate is where the chromosomes are lined up.
