Question

Assume the “cells‟ below represents the daughter cell or secondary oocyte and 1st polar body produced by meiosis 1. Draw the chromosomes in place in the „cell” below as they would appear in these daughter cells. Please label which of the cells below represents the secondary oocyte and 1st polar body. Since 46 chromosomes is a lot to draw, please assume a normal 2n compliment of 4. Please use pink to represent maternal chromosomes and blue to represent paternal chromosomes.

Answer 1

In this case we are talking about oocytes, which are maternally dervived premature gametes. So, we will use only pink colour to draw chromosomes.
