56 chromosomes


Describe the differences between the original cell that undergoes meiosis and the daughter cells produced by meiosis?

The original cell that undergoes meiosis holds the original copy of DNA. The daughter cells receive the replicated DNA strands.


A cell with a diploid number of 20 undergoes meiosis. this will produce?

It will have 4 daughter cells and 10 chromosome per daughter cell because the number of chromosomes you start with is doubled and then divided by four.


How many gamates are possible from a single diploid cell that undergoes meiosis?

23 chromosomes


Why does meiosis result in half as many chromosomes as the original cell?

Because in meiosis the chromosomes don't line up


How many chromosomes made by meiosis?

Half the original cell.


How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after meiosis occurs?

The new cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.


If a cell in a dog undergoes meiosis and another cell undergoes mitosis how many chromosomes will each resulting cell contain?

Meiosis is usually reserved for cells used in sexual reproduction. They have half the number of chromosomes found in the organism's somatic cells. A mosquito has six chromosomes in its somatic cells, and therefore would have three in each gamete formed by meiosis.


How many chromosomes are in a daughter cell after meiosis 2?

Half the number that were in the original cell.


How many chromosomes does meiosis produce as the original?

In humans meiosis produces 23 chromosomes. The human body cell has 46 chromosomes When meiosis occurs 1/2 of the body cells go into the haploid cell produced

If Eukaryote cell has 20 chrosomes and undergoes meiosis what is the resulting number of cells and chromosomes?

2 cells and twenty chromatids each (or twenty half-chromosomes each), but I'm not sure for the human sex cells (meiosis) if they are the same for all the other cells in the body (mitosis). If eukaryotic cell having 20 chromosomes undergoes meiosis four cells will be formed, each having 10 chromosomes. This happens because in meiosis I, pairing between homologous chromosomes takes place and each chromosome from this pair gets separated to the opposite pole resulting into reduction of chromosome by half their original number. From these two haploid cell of meiosis I, meiosis second further divides each of these two cells to two by mitosis. Thus, four cells with 10 chromosomes each are formed.
