Meiosis results in gametes that have half the number of chromosomes of other cells. A gamete carries one of each pair of homologous chromosomes. Their are 46 chromosoes in Meiosis I and 23 in Meiosis II.
A somatic or non-sex cell has 23 pairs or 46 total chromosomes. Sex cells or gametes have a total of 23 chromosomes.
The gamete or haploid cell of an organism contains half as many chromosomes as a diploid body cell. An organism that has 32 chromosomes would produce a gamete with 16 chromosomes.
There are 20 chromosomes in a mango, but since it is diploid, in mitosis the number increases to 40, then splits to become two identical cells, each with 20 chromosomes.
20 chromosomes
20
The diploid number is the total number of chromosomes found in the autosomes, or non-gamete cells of an organism. The diploid number includes both chromosomes of each homologous pair. Gametes, on the other hand, carry only one chromosome from each homologous pair; they are haploid rather than diploid. Gametes therefore carry half the number of chromosomes that autosomes do.
The answer is 40
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.

Since the gametes contain one half the number, the zygote will have to have the full number of 40.
Meiosis results in gametes that have half the number of chromosomes of other cells. A gamete carries one of each pair of homologous chromosomes. Their are 46 chromosoes in Meiosis I and 23 in Meiosis II.
A somatic or non-sex cell has 23 pairs or 46 total chromosomes. Sex cells or gametes have a total of 23 chromosomes.
16 (haploid number = n, and diploid number =2n) so if n=8, the diploid number is 2x8 = 16
