A somatic cell from a corn plant normally contains 20 chromosomes.  How many sister chromatids would that cell contain during G2 of the cell cycle?

Embryonic cell cycles allow the rapid division of cells in the early embryo.  These mitotic cell cycles are much shorter in length than the mitotic cell cycles of cells in a mature organism.  In the embryonic cell cycles, mitosis takes approximately the same amount of time as it does in the cell cycles of mature cells.  What do you think is a result of the embryonic cycle?

Occasionally, chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis, leading to daughter cells that have an abnormal number of chromosomes. This phenomenon is called
