meiosis how many chromosomes are in each daughter cell?
227794
Germ cells contain a complete set of 46 chromosomes (23 maternal chromosomes and 23 paternal chromosomes). By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell.
1258104
Meiosis takes place during gamete formation resulting in the formation of haploid gametes. If a cell has 24 chromosomes before cell division then daughter cell resulting from mitotic division will have 24 chromosomes while daughter cell resulting from the meiotic division will contain 12 chromosomes each.
260268
Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. ... Specifically, meiosis creates new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells. These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes.
430318
Mitosis produces two daughter cells, while meiosis produces four daughter cells. 3. The daughter cells in mitosis are genetically identical, but the cells in meiosis are not identical.
545709
Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell. Meiosis II is a mitotic division of each of the haploid cells produced in meiosis I.
211618
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate resulting in a reduction of ploidy. Each daughter cell has only 1 set of chromosomes. Meiosis II, splits the sister chromatids apart. ... These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell - they are haploid.

At the end of mitosis, 2 daughter cells both have 46 chromosomes. How many divisions occur in meiosis? Two, each including prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Meiosis begins with a diploid germ cell and produces a haploid sex cell (sperm or egg).
778761
Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell.
42120
Anaphase I: Homologues separate; sister chromatids remain attached. Summary: At the end of meiosis, 4 daughter cells are formed = eggs or sperm. Each contains half as many chromosomes as the parent cell (n); each cell is genetically different from its parents and from its "siblings".
49484
Mitosis gets two daughter cells, each diploid (2n) and genetically identical to the parent cell. Meiosis gives four daughter cells, each haploid (n), containing half as many chromosomes as the parent cell and genetically different from the parent cell and from each other.
101945
After meiosis, half the number as were in the starting parent cell. Humans have 46 chromosomes, and the starting parent cell - whether we are talking about mitosis or meiosis - has 46 chromosomes. After mitosis, each of the 2 daughter cells will also have 46 chromosomes.
223907
At the end of cytokinesis, how many daughter chromosomes will be found in each cell? Explain. Each daughter cell will have 46 daughter chromosomes. Each of the 46 original chromosomes splits into two daughter chromosomes, so there are two sets of 46 daughter chromosomes that end up in each cell.
835912
Terms in this set (5) How many chromosomes do this organism's gametes contain? ... Gametes are produced with one half the number of chromosomes. Meiosis has two stages meiosis I and meiosis II. Four daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis.
25568
During the second stage of meiosis, the SISTER CHROMATIDS of each of the 23 chromosomes are pulled apart just as they are in mitosis, resulting in 4 cells that each have 1 copy of each of the 23 chromosomes (now unduplicated again) and are now officially haploid.
274905
Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. Each daughter cell is diploid (contains the normal number of chromosomes). This is the result of DNA replication and 1 cell division. ... Meiosis is used to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells), the cells of sexual reproduction.
267028
In meiosis 1, a diploid cell becomes 2 haploid (23 chromosomes) daughter cells, each chromosome has two chromatids. One cell becomes the secondary oocyte the other cell forms the first polar body.
317425
Each of the 46 original chromosomes splits into two daughter chromosomes, so there are two sets of 46 daughter chromosomes that end up in each cell.
