Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In meiosis, the cell originally has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs of homologous chromosomes) and the gametes formed after meiosis have 23 chromosomes each. This is because meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in the production of four haploid daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
