How many chromosomes are in human cells formed by meiotic cell division?

Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells, called gametes. Haploid means that each cell has half the chromosomes of the original parent cell.
In humans, all four of the male gametes produced by mitosis are sperm cells. However, in females only one of the four daughter cells becomes an ovum/egg.

What do you get from meiosis that you don't get from mitosis?
Mitotic cell division produces two genetically identical daughter cells that are genetically identical to their parent cell. The daughter cells that result from mitotic cell division are 2n, having two sets of chromosomes. Meiotic cell division produces four genetically non-identical cells that are 1n, having only one set of chromosomes. The parent cell for meiotic cell division is 2n.
What cell division produces cells?
Meiosis
After meiosis I the two daughter cells would have how many chromosomes?
23. The chromosome number is reduced to one half during the first meiotic division. Recall that the number of chromosomes is determined by the number of centromeres, and not the number of chromatids.
The second meiotic division is essentially a mitotic division except for the fact that the cells produced are?
Haploid
How many chromosomes does the daughter cell get from the parent cell?
In mitotic cell division, the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiotic cell division, the daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Why are germ cells diploid prior to their first meiotic division?
Germ cells diploid prior to their first meiotic division as a means to produce homologous chromosomes , or homologs
What is the process for making sex cells with half the number of chromosomes?
meiotic cell division
Why meiotic division is called reduction division?
Meiotic division is called reduction division because the daughter cells (called 'gametes') are haploid, that is, carry half the number of chromosomes of the parent cells. Gametes carry one chromosome of each homologous pair, whereas the diploid parent cells carry both.
In spermatogenesis meiosis results in the formation of what?
The meiotic division results in the formation of daughter cells.
What do you get from meiosis that you don't get from mitosis?
Mitotic cell division produces two genetically identical daughter cells that are genetically identical to their parent cell.

Meiotic cell division produces four genetically non-identical cells that are 1n, having only one set of chromosomes. The parent cell for meiotic cell division is 2n.
Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division are called?
somatic cells
Number of chromosomes in daughter cells formed by first division?
46
What cell division produces cells?
Meiosis
What is it called when sex cells divide?
meiotic division
How would you distinguish human mitotic cells from human meiotic cells?
By counting the number of daughter cells resulting from mitotic and meiotic division
Meiotic cell division in animals is directly responsible for the?
Meiotic cell division in animals is directly responsible for the producing sex cells.
What is the number of chromosomes per daughter cell after meosis?
After meiosis, each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. For example, in humans the parent cell would have 46 chromosomes, but after meiotic cell division, the daughter cells will each have 23 chromosomes.
