A cell contains eight chromosomes at the end of prophase I.How many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell at the end of prophase II?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the end of prophase I, homologous chromosomes have been separated into two cells. Each cell then enters meiosis II, aiming to separate sister chromatids. Since the cell had 8 chromosomes at the end of prophase I, each daughter cell after prophase II will have the same number, 4, because chromosomes are not duplicated between meiosis I and II.
