How many cells are produced from one parent cell with meosis?

Answer 1

The short answer is four (if you consider the diploid cell formed by the combination of a mother cell and a father cell to be the "parent cell".

Meiosis begins with one diploid cell containing two copies of each chromosome-one from the organism's mother and one from its father-and produces four haploid cells containing one copy of each chromosome. Since this requires both a father cell and a mother cell to combine to form a single diploid cell, you go from two cells to one cell to four cells.

Answer 2

In meiosis the gametes (sex cells), containing half the genetic information from each parent, join to form one parent cell with 23 pairs of chromosomes. The chromosomes in the newly formed parent cell duplicate and the like chromosomes pair up. The chromosomes then swap sections of DNA - this creates a mix o new genetic material in the offspring's cells. Following on from this, the parent cell divides to form two daughter nuclei. Finally, the cells divide once more to form a total of four daughter cells. These daughter nuclei have single chromosomes and a new mix of genetic material.

Answer 3

there is one parent cell it divides into two daughter cells during the meosis process

Answer 4

Meiosis results in four daughter cells, each with half the original chromosomes of the parent cell.

Answer 5

In meiosis makes four cells which aren't identical to each other while mitosis makes two identical cells:)

Answer 6

There are 4 cells at the end

Answer 7

4 daughter cells

Answer 8

four
