What is the difference between the number of chromosomes between a parent cell and its daughter cells?

the daughter cells have half the chromosomes the parent cell does. so when the sex cell combines with the other there isn't double chromosomes. :) the daughter cells have half the chromosomes the parent cell does. so when the sex cell combines with the other there isn't double chromosomes. :)


If the parental cell has 24 chromosomes how many does each daughter cell have at the completion of meiosis II?

The answer is that the daughter cell would have 8 chromosomes.Daughter cells always have half the number of chromosomes the parent cells have. But the normal number of chromosomes is parent have 46 chromosomes and daughter have 23 chromosomes.


Meiosis reduce the number of chromosomes by?

by half.


How does the number of chromosomes in metaphase of mitosis compare to the number of duplicated chromosomes in metaphase 2 of meiosis?

because in metaphase 2 of meiosis there are 2 different cells, which means the chromosomes duplicated


Why reductional division or meiosis essential in organism?

Meiosis reduces number of chromosomes to one half . when two gametes fuse , it restores original diploid number of chromosomes .With out this diploid number of chromosomes could not be maintained .


Is meiosis is associated with haploid number of chromosomes?

Yes, the process of meiosis results in four daughter cells with a haploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, mitosis results in two daughter cells with a diploid number of chromosomes.


How many chromosomes would a cell have during metaphase 1 of meiosis if it has 12 chromosomes during interphase?

Meiosis is known as a reduction division. The total number of chromosomes present prior to meiosis is reduced in half at the end of meiosis. In this case 12 pairs of chromosomes before meiosis (a total of 24 chromosomes) becomes 12 chromosomes (one of each pair) at the end of meiosis.


What happens to the chromosomes number by the end of meiosis?

The chromosome number at the end of meiosis is half of the parent cell


Process where the number of chromosomes is reduced by half?

Meiosis.


Does metaphase of mitosis meiosis 1 or meiosis 2 have the haploid number of chromosomes at the equator of the spindle?

meiosis 1


What is the process of division that results in the formation of cells with half the usual number of chromosomes?

The process of meiosis.


How many chromosomes are there in cells of humans after meiosis?

There are 23 chromosomes in a human cell following meiosis. Meiosis is sometimes called "reduction division". The first division of meiosis (meiosis I) halves the chromosome number. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in the mother cell when it begins meiosis I. More precisely, there are 23 pairs, one of each pair having been inherited from each parent. This number (46 in humans) is the diploid number for the species. After meiosis, each cell has the haploid number (23 in humans), i.e. one of each chromosome in the set.
