If a cell has a diploid number of 50, how many chromosomes are present in the nucleus at the beginning of meiosis? how many chromosomes are present in each resulting nucleus at the end of meiosis?

Beginning of meiosis: 50 chromosomes

Chromosomes in each of the nucleus formed by meiosis: 25

Explanation:

Meiosis is a reduction division as it has two successive divisions without any intervening S-phase. It forms a total of four daughter nuclei each having half the chromosome number as present in the parent cell at the beginning of the process.

If a cell with 2n=50 enters meiosis, the segregation of homologous chromosomes to the opposite poles during anaphase-I of meiosis I would result in the reduction of chromosome number to the half in each of the two daughter nuclei formed by the end of the meiosis-I.

Meiosis-II is just like mitosis and maintains the chromosome number. So, the two daughter nuclei enter the meiosis-II and form a total of 4 daughter nuclei each of which has 25 chromosomes.  

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
