Question

dna occurs as 92 chromosomes in a cell preparing to divide true or false

Answer 1

ANSWER: FALSE

DNA does not occur as 92 chromosomes before or during or at any phase of cell division.

The number of chromatids is 92 but the chromosome number does not increase it remains 46.

The 92 chromosomes cell will be tetrad ploid but the cell remains diploid during complete division (haploid in meiosis II).

The chromosome number during becomes twice the parent cell but when the it takes chromosome shape, the sister chromatid (two copy of one chromosome) remains attached at centromere by kinetochore. Thus, the chromatid number does doubles but not the chromosome number.
