Which statement would describe a gametic cell from Zea mays produced at the end of meiosis? The new daughter cells will each have 10 chromosomes, each cell will be genetically different. At the end of meiosis, there will be four unique daughter cells, each containing 5 chromosomes. The resulting cells will have 40 chromosome pairs in each new daughter cell in order to maintain the correct chromosome number. Because DNA replication does not change chromosome number, meiosis will result in identical daughter cells that each have 20 chromosomes.
