1 Point)

b. 2 daughter cells will be created and each daughter cell will have 10 chromosomes.
c. 4 daughter cells will be created and each daughter cell will have 20 chromosomes.
d. 2 daughter cells will be created and each daughter cell will have 20 chromosomes.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

By the end of meiosis 4 daughter cells will be produced with half the amount of chromosomes the original parent cell has, haploid.

A cell with 20 chromosomes undergoes meiosis produces 4 daughter cells and each daughter cell will have 10 chromosomes. Thus option A  is correct.

What is Meiosis?

The cell division in which a cell divides twice to form four haploid daughter cells called as Meiosis.

The cell division occur in two steps nuclear division or karyokinesis and cytoplasmic division called as cytokinesis.

This type of cell division are seen in sexually-reproducing organisms mostly germ cells.

During reproduction diploid organism produces haploid number of gametes such as egg and sperm.

The gametes unite to create a new zygote with the same number of alleles as the parents.

The meiosis occur in 2 stages that is meiosis I, meiosis II and  Each stage is classified into several phases such as Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis.

Prophase I of meiosis I can have five subphrases, such as Leptotene, Zygotene,  Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.

Hence,  option A  is correct.
