Question

How many chromatids would you expect in 4 bivalents? A. 4 B. 16 C. 2 D. 8
Options
A 4
B 16
Correct Answer
C 2
D 8
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

One bivalent consists of a pair of homologous chromosomes. Since each chromosome has already replicated, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids. So, one bivalent = 2 chromosomes x 2 chromatids each = 4 chromatids. Therefore, 4 bivalents = 4 x 4 = 16 chromatids.

Hint

Each bivalent contains four chromatids.
