In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.

Meiosis starts with one cell that has a diploid number of chromosomes, which means it has two sets of chromosomes.
After meiosis II, each cell will have a haploid number of chromosomes, which means they will have half the number of chromosomes compared to the original cell before meiosis.
Starts as a germ cell- 46 chromosomes Goes through phase 1 meiosis- 2 daughter cells each 46 chromosomes Goes through phase 2 meiosis- chromosomes are sorted randomly and recombined (crossing over)- gametes (sex cells) 23 chromosomes
250 would be the 1N number after meiosis.
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.
A mosquito cell has 6 chromosomes in total. During meiosis, the cell goes through two rounds of division. In meiosis I, the cell reduces its chromosome number to half (3 chromosomes) and in meiosis II, it divides again to produce four daughter cells, each with 3 chromosomes.

At the stage of mitosis or meiosis, coleus cells with 24 chromosomes would have 24 chromosomes present in each cell. In mitosis, the cell divides into two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes. In meiosis, a specialized cell division process, two rounds of division result in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Twenty three chromosomes will be in each cell after meiosis is completed.
