The karyotype of an organism is described by 2n=80.

Assume a cell of this organism undergoes a complete normal cell cycle including mitosis.

A)   Determine the haploid number during G2 of the cell cycle. Describe in your own words how you determined this value. Please note: a value without a written explanation will not be graded.

B) How many chromatids would you expect to find during prophase of mitosis in this organism? Describe in your own words how you determined this value. Please note: a value without a written explanation will not be graded.

C)   Determine the ploidy and total chromosome number in each of the resulting two daughter cells during G1 of the cell cycle. Explain in your own words how you determined these values. Please note: values without a written explanation will not be graded.

Mitosis is a process in which a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells.these cells are identical to each other as well as parent cell.in this division already duplicated chromosomes are distributed into two daughter cells equally, so both the cells have same number of chromosomes.

Let’s say that a population has N individuals (2N alleles) in generation t. It suddenly undergoes a population expansion such that the t+1 generation has 100N individuals (i.e.200N alleles). How does this change the effective population size? What does this mean for the amount of drift in this new population?
