Best Answer

The original cell (before meiosis occurs) will have a chromosome number of 2n.

After meiosis, the resulting daughter cells will have a chromosome number of n.

So the daughter cells will have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

For example, a normal somatic (non-sex) human cell will have 46 chromosomes.

Each gamete (the result of meiosis) will therefore have 23 chromosomes.

How does the significance of meiosis maintained the chromosome number?

No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.
