1. The diagram in Figure 1 shows a section through the mammalian testis. With reference to this diagram answer the following questions: Hormone secreting cells A FIGURE 1 What percentage of each of the following types of cells would you expect to contain an X chromosome. Give a REASON for your answer in each case. i) type cell A ii) type cell B Name the cell type labelled B which under goes mitosis. State the importance of mitosis in a mature testis. State TWO ways in which cell division results in cell C being genetically different from one another. The graph in Figure 2 shows the effect of light on the period of oestrus in two groups of female sheep. The females in the control group were subjected to the normal seasonal variation in day length. Partially through the first year of the experiment, sheep in the experimental group were subjected to reversed day-length cycle. The period of oestrus of each group of sheep is shown in solid bands above the graph (Figure 2).
A normal somatic cell in horses has 64 chromosomes. Give the number of chromosomes and number of DNA molecules that will be present in the following horse cells: spermatogonia, first polar body, primary oocyte and, secondary spermatocyte.
x * X Given the cell shown here, answer the following three questions. 1. Describe the ploidy and total chromosome count of this cell without using any words. 2. What checkpoint in the cell cycle will allow this cell to move to the next phase? 3. What will be the ploidy of the two resulting daughter cells? 4. If non-disjunction occurred in one of the chromosomes shown here, what would be the ploidy of each of the resulting daughter cells?
The sperm of Panthera leo contains 19 chromosomes, which of the following is/are true about somatic cells?
Explain the reason why in the absence of Delta, cells become unsynchronized and somites are not formed completely.
A spermatogonial cell undergoes mitosis before entering the meiotic cell cycle en route to the production of sperm. However, during mitosis the cytoplasm fails to divide, and only one daughter cell is produced. A resultant sperm eventually fertilizes a normal ovum. What is the chromosomal complement of the embryo?
A teratogen is an agent that produces nongenetic abnormalities during embryonic or fetal development. Suppose a teratogen is present at conception. As a result, during the first mitotic division the centromeres fail to divide. The teratogen then loses its potency and has no further effect on the embryo. What is the chromosomal complement of this embryo?
Cell differentiation occurs through _______________, whereas morphogenesis involves _______________. (a) pattern formation; cell determination (b) cell division; cell expansion (c) cell expansion; pattern formation (d) cell determination; cell division (e) cell determination; pattern formation

Please identify the G2 phase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase of the whitefish blastula cells. Images included. Thank you! :)
PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: 1. In figure 1 locate the mitotic zone or region of cell division. Next, identify mitotic stages visible in figure 2. Note down visible structural changes occurring at various stages of mitosis, namely: prophase (early and late) metaphase, anaphase (early and late) and telophase (early and late). 2. Point the specific mitotic stages that can be seen in the enlarged image of onion root tip cells undergoing cell division (figure 2). 3. Search for a diagrammatic illustration of the different stages of meiosis, examine/study carefully the changes occurring in each stage. Note how these stages assemble or differ from those of mitosis. 4. Then, summarize the structural changes occurring in each stage of mitosis and meiosis in a tabular form.
