Best Answer

The amount of chromosomes diminishes in meiosis. meiosis produces sex cells, and each of these sex cells has only 23 chromosomes. Each parents provides 23 chromosomes, that's why some people look like both their mother and their father. Each regular body cell has 46 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.
