Question

A diploid cell with a diploid number of 24 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many chromosomes are present in each daughter cell after division?

  1. 36

  2. 24

  3. 48

  4. 12

hintHint:

It is also called reductional division and produces haploid daughter cells.

The correct answer is:

12


    Mitosis is cell division in which a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. They have the same number and type of chromosomes as the mother cell. Therefore, this division is also called the expression division.
    Thus, after mitosis, a parent cell with 24 chromosomes produces two daughter cells with 24 chromosomes each.

    Hemophilia disease is produced in the male by how many gene/s?

    • Genetic disorders can be chromosomal, multifactorial and monogenic
    • Hemophilia is a blood disorder that delays blood clotting or hemostasis
    • Blood clotting is a result of cascade of reactions done by clotting factors (1 to 12)
    • Absence of clotting factor VIII or IX causes hemophilia
    • Gene (F8 or F9) responsible for hemophilia is present in X chromosome

    How do genetic disorders happen?

    • Genetic disorder is due to alteration in gene sequence
    • The gene sequence change can occur in a cell irrespective of type of cell division a cell undergoes
    • Mutation can occur at any point of cell division
    • Trisomy can be attributed as a result of meiosis
