[INDENT]Hello !
Could you explain me question 4 (a) in June 2009 on mitosis ? This table really confuses me, apparantely my knowledge about mitosis is still quite weak. In the answers the said that nr of chromosomes in the telophase of mitosis is 26, but I thought that number of chromosomes halves after two new cells (gametes If I'm not mistaken) are formed. And then sperm cell has half of the original chromosome number (therefore I understand this point) . However why in telophase it's 26 not 13 ?
And also , shouldn't mass of DNA be proportional to nr of chromosomes ? Why at telophase they say it's 30 not 60 ??
Please , help me, I'm really confused now...
