Question
If a diploid cell with a diploid number of 36 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many chromosomes are present in each daughter cell after division?
18
16
24
36
18
16
24
36
Hint:
The feature of meiosis is that it is a reductional division.
The correct answer is: 18
- Meiosis is the reductional division. Meiosis results in a reduction of chromosome number to one-half in the normal diploid cell.
- Thus, if a cell has 36 chromosomes before meiosis. After meiosis, the four daughter cells produced will be having 18 chromosomes each.
