A diploid somatic (?body?) cell has 2n = 20 chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have_________ chromosomes. At the end of meiosis I, each daughter cell would have_________chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each daughter cell would have_________Chromosomes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the end of mitosis, each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which is 20. At the end of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated, resulting in daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes, which is 10. At the end of meiosis II, the number of chromosomes remains the same as after meiosis I, so each daughter cell has 10 chromosomes.
