The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has a total ofeight chromosomes (4 pairs) in each of its cells. Assume you are amicroscopist viewing different types of fruit fly cells, some ofwhich are undergoing mitosis and some of which are undergoingmeiosis. Draw what you would expect to see in these two types ofcells when they are at the stage of anaphase (mitosis) or anaphaseI (meiosis). Distinguish between paternal and maternal chromosomesby using different colors or different types of lines. Brieflydescribe what differences you note from the drawings between thesetwo types of cells.

Chapter 19 discussed the process of chromosomal inheritance, mitosis and meiosis. Consider the statement "mitosis separates sister chromatids, but meiosis separates homologous chromosomes", is it a valid statement, why or why not?
