If a cell of an organism has 46 chromosomes before meiosis how many chromosomes will exist in each nucleus after meiosis?
23
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.
In mitosis or meiosis do doubled chromosomes pair to form tetrads?
Tetrads form during meiosis. Tetrad refers to the four chromatids of homologous chromosomes.These are present during Prophase.
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
How many chromosomes are in the daughter cell in meiosis II?
The four daughter cells of meiosis II are haploid, so they will have half the number of chromosomes as the diploid parent cell. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in the diploid body cells, and 23 chromosomes in the haploid daughter cells of meiosis II. In females, one of the four daughter cells will contain the most cytoplasm and organelles, and will form an egg cell. In males, all four daughter cells will form sperm cells.
How many cells form at the end of human meiosis and how many chromosomes do they each contain?
At the end of meiosis II, four haploid cells form. Haploid means they have only one set of chromosomes. For humans, that would be 23 chromosomes.
When do chromosomes form tetrades?
Chromosomes form Tetrads during meiosis in Prophase I
How many chromosomes are present when meiosis starts?
In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are present when meiosis is started?
In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes will a haploid cell have after meiosis?
19 chromosomes
How many chromosomes are there in meiosis?
23
How many are chromosomes are in meiosis?
23
How many chromosomes will be in each cell after meiosis is completed?
Twenty three chromosomes will be in each cell after meiosis is completed.
Why does meiosis result in half as many chromosomes as the original cell?
Because in meiosis the chromosomes don't line up

How many chromosomes are in the resulting cells after human meiosis?
23 chromosomes
