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?

  1. 18

  2. 16

  3. 24

  4. 36

hintHint:

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.
