Following meiosis I, the daughter cells are ________; following meiosis II, the daughter cells are ________; and following fertilization and mitosis, the daughter cells are ________.

Respuesta :

Following Meiosis I, the daughter cells are Haploid. Following Meiosis II, the daughter cells are Haploid and following Fertilization and Mitosis, the daughter cells are Diploid.

In a diploid cell containing a complete set of chromosomes and DNA content, After Meiosis I, the number of chromosome reduces by half thereby producing two daughter cells that are haploid which is termed as the Reductional Division due to the reduction in the number of chromosome and reduction of DNA content by half. Hence, the cell becomes Haploid after Meiosis I.

After Meiosis II, the number of chromosomes remains half as compared to the Diploid cell and only the DNA content reduces to one fourth as compared to the diploid cell. It is similar to Mitosis or Equational Division since no change occurs in the chromosome number as compared to the daughter cell obtained after Meiosis I. Hence, the cell remains Haploid after Meiosis II

After Fertilisation of two haploid cells formed after completion of Meiosis, the cell become Diploid (due to the fusion) containing complete set of chromosome and DNA content. After Mitosis of the newly formed Diploid cell, the number of Diploid cells increases due to the formation of two daughter cells produced continuously. No change in the chromosome number or DNA content occurs.
