How many cells get produced in meiosis?

Answer 1

To answer this question, let's take a look at meiosis as a whole.

Meiosis I:

1 Mother cell (with DNA that has been replicated) splits into two daughter cells (each are 2n).

Meiosis II:

Each of those 2 daughter cells split into two gametes (which are 1n each).

Therefore at the end of meiosis 2, one daughter cell splits into two haploid cells.

Remember, the mother cell (at the beginning of meiosis I) ends up splitting into a tetrad of haploid cells (ie. Mother cell splits into four haploid cells by completion of meiosis)

Answer 2

Well you would really need more information to answer this question. This varies by species. For a human, there are 23 chromosomes found in a haploid cell (gamete). 22 of these are autosomes and 1 is a sex chromosome. When the two gametes come together at fertilization, they form a haploid cell with 46 chromosomes. The zygote will have 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes, XY for males and XX for females. You can just think of Meiosis as going from one Haploid (2n) cell to four diploid (n) cells.

haploid is actually (n)=23 chromosomes

diploid 2(n)= 46 chromosomes

Answer 3

4 haploid cells are produced in meiosis.
Cells known as gametes are produced as a result of meiosis.

Answer 4

four genetically different cells are formed

Answer 5

No diploid gametes are formed only four haploid gametes.

Answer 6

4 haploid cells is the final product

Answer 7

4 daughter cells.

Answer 8

four.

Answer 9

4
