In humans, it would be 23 chromosomes, which are initially 23 pairs of sister chromatids until anaphase II when they are separated.
Anaphase of Meiosis 1 separates the homologous chromosome pairs, but during Anaphase of Meiosis 2, the sister chromatids are separated instead. Also, Meiosis 1 starts with one diploid cell and ends with 2 haploid cells, whereas Meiosis 2 starts with the 2 haploid cells and ends with 4 haploid cells (gametes).
4 daughter cells that have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the parent
In humans meiosis produces 23 chromosomes. The human body cell has 46 chromosomes When meiosis occurs 1/2 of the body cells go into the haploid cell produced
At the end of meiosis 1, two cells are formed, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. These cells are haploid and have undergone recombination and genetic variation.
A daughter cell produced after meiosis II has half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. This means that in humans, which have cells with 46 chromosomes, each daughter cell produced at the end of meiosis II would have 23 chromosomes.
because there is half as many cells
The products of meiosis 1 are two haploid daughter cells with duplicated chromosomes, while the products of meiosis 2 are four haploid daughter cells with unduplicated chromosomes. Meiosis 1 separates homologous chromosomes, while meiosis 2 separates sister chromatids.
Meiosis forms sex cells. So, there are 23 chromosomes at the end of meiosis.
In metaphase of mitosis, the number of chromosomes is equal to the number of duplicated chromosomes. However, in metaphase 2 of meiosis, the number of chromosomes is half that of the duplicated chromosomes, since meiosis involves two rounds of cell division to produce haploid cells.
Starts as a germ cell- 46 chromosomes Goes through phase 1 meiosis- 2 daughter cells each 46 chromosomes Goes through phase 2 meiosis- chromosomes are sorted randomly and recombined (crossing over)- gametes (sex cells) 23 chromosomes
the answer is MEIOSIS meiosis produces 4 single cells with half member of the chromosomes mitosis produces 2 cells with full member of the chromosomes
Meiosis 1 involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid daughter cells with replicated chromosomes. Meiosis 2 involves the separation of sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with unreplicated chromosomes.
A total of four daughter cells are created during meiosis. There are two phases of meiosis, meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. During meiosis 1 two daughter cells are created while during meiosis 2 four daughter cells are created.
Anaphase of Meiosis 1 separates the homologous chromosome pairs, but during Anaphase of Meiosis 2, the sister chromatids are separated instead. Also, Meiosis 1 starts with one diploid cell and ends with 2 haploid cells, whereas Meiosis 2 starts with the 2 haploid cells and ends with 4 haploid cells (gametes).

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.
