SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the understanding of chromosome numbers during meiosis, specifically after DNA replication in the S-phase. Participants confirm that following DNA multiplication in a fertilized cell, the number of DNA molecules doubles, resulting in 2m and 92 chromosomes. This affirmation highlights the importance of recognizing the doubling of both DNA mass and molecules prior to mitosis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of meiosis and mitosis processes
  • Knowledge of S-phase DNA replication
  • Familiarity with chromosome structure and numbers
  • Basic genetics terminology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the stages of meiosis and their significance
  • Learn about the implications of DNA replication errors
  • Explore the role of chromosome number in genetic diversity
  • Study the differences between mitosis and meiosis in detail
USEFUL FOR

Students of genetics, biology educators, and anyone interested in understanding the mechanisms of chromosome behavior during cell division.

In the picture you can see 2 table.
Table-1 is the original table that I got on my question,and table-2 is my answer.
I would like to know if I correct.



Thanks.

After DNA multiplication in a fertilized cell, the DNA molecules and mass will double...so 2m and 92.

This is referring to S-phase replication, before mitosis.

There might be something tricky about the number of DNA molecules, but I think what I said is correct.
 
yep i think you are correct.

thank you :)
 
yes you are right, as already stated the DNA molecules will double as well as mass.
