Meiosis is usually reserved for cells used in sexual reproduction. They have half the number of chromosomes found in the organism's somatic cells. A mosquito has six chromosomes in its somatic cells, and therefore would have three in each gamete formed by meiosis.
Well, darling, let me break it down for you. In meiosis, a cell with 2n chromosomes will produce cells with n chromosomes, so each resulting cell will have 39 chromosomes. In mitosis, the number of chromosomes remains the same, so each resulting cell will also have 78 chromosomes. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar.
Diploid cells contain twice the number of chromosomes as haploid cells. Sex cells (sperm and egg) are haploids. Therefore, if the diploid number is 16, sperm and egg cells must contain 8 each.
The daughter cells will have 14 chromosomes, the same as the parent cell. Not only are the numbers of chromosomes the same, but they are also genetically identical to each other and the parent cell.
The process of forming sex cells, also known as gametes, that each contain 23 chromosomes is called meiosis. Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division to ensure that the resulting gametes have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
A primary spermatocyte with 46 chromosomes will undergo meiosis and yield four spermatids with 23 chromosomes. A primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I two haploid secondary spermatocytes are produced.
The number of chromosomes in each resulting cell depends on the type of cell division occurring. In mitosis, each resulting daughter cell will contain the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, maintaining the diploid number in somatic cells. In meiosis, each resulting gamete will contain half the number of chromosomes, resulting in haploid cells. For humans, this means 46 chromosomes in mitotic cells and 23 in meiotic cells.

Male reproductive cells (sperm) contain 23 chromosomes, while female reproductive cells (eggs) also contain 23 chromosomes. When these two cells combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes - 23 from each parent.
A chicken's gametes (sperm and egg) each contain 39 chromosomes, which is half of the chicken's total chromosomes (78). When fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote will have the full complement of 78 chromosomes.
No. DNA doesn't contain chromosomes. Chromosomes are DNA.
The daughter cells will have 14 chromosomes, the same as the parent cell. Not only are the numbers of chromosomes the same, but they are also genetically identical to each other and the parent cell.
Each resulting daughter cell should also contain 20 chromosomes. During the cell division process known as mitosis, the cell's chromosomes are duplicated and then divided equally between the two daughter cells.
Threadlike coils of chromosomes are called chromatin, which is composed of DNA and associated proteins. Chromatin undergoes further condensation during cell division to form distinct chromosomes. The chromosomes contain the genetic material necessary for cell functions and are essential for the accurate transmission of genetic information to daughter cells.

Yes, it contains chromosomes
A primary spermatocyte with 46 chromosomes will undergo meiosis and yield four spermatids with 23 chromosomes. A primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis I two haploid secondary spermatocytes are produced.
