7. How many chromosomes will be found in a cell of this specimen in anaphase of mitosis =

8. Are there any deletions? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) have the deletion (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter them separated by commas)

9. Are there any inversions? Yes or No

If yes which chromosome(s) have the inversion (only enter integers; if your answer has more than one chromosome, enter the values separated by commas)

10. Are there any acentric autosomes? Yes or No
