Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a plant cell,if the haploid number is $n=16$,then the diploid number $(2n)$ is $32$.During meiosis,the cell undergoes $DNA$ replication in the $S$-phase of interphase,but the number of chromosomes remains the same as the parent cell $(2n = 32)$ at the beginning of meiosis.In metaphase-$I$ of meiosis,homologous chromosomes pair up to form bivalents and align at the equatorial plate.Since the cell is diploid $(2n)$,it contains $32$ chromosomes arranged as $16$ bivalents.Therefore,the number of chromosomes present in the cell during metaphase-$I$ is $32$.

List-$I$ (Sub Phases of Prophase-$I$)	List-$II$
$A$. Diakinesis	$I$. Synaptonemal complex formation
$B$. Pachytene	$II$. Completion of terminalisation of chiasmata
$C$. Zygotene	$III$. Chromosomes look like thin threads
$D$. Leptotene	$IV$. Appearance of recombination nodules

If $n=16$ in a plant cell,then how many chromosomes are present in each cell in metaphase-$I$ of meiosis?
