CELL DIVISION ( MEIOSIS AND MITOSIS)

Question

What is the chromosomal number of each daughter cell produced at the end of meiosis I and II if the number of chromosomes in somatic cells is 24 ??

PLEASE HELPP ME!!

😭😭😭

Answer 1

For a diploid number of 24 (i.e. 2n = 24).

End of Meiosis I: A daughter cell has 12 chromosomes, 24 chromatids.

End of Meiosis II. A daughter cell has 12 chromosomes, 12 chromatids.

Important to understand that Meiosis I is the reductive division, meaning Meiosis I results in the diploid to haploid transition.
