Detailed explanation-1: -The number of chromosomes is reduced to half at the end of meiosis. So, a cell having 20 chromosomes will give rise to four daughter cells having 10 chromosomes after meiosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -If an organism has 20 chromosomes, then the number of chromosomes the daughter cells have after mitosis is 20 because when a cell divides by the process of mitosis it produces two clone daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes (20) as the parent cell has.
Detailed explanation-3: -At this point, nuclear division begins, and the parent cell is divided in half, forming 2 daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -The daughter cell after meiosis is referred to as haploid (1n), meaning it contains only one copy of each chromosome. In this case, if the parent cell contained 20 chromosomes, the produced daughter cells would each contain half that amount, or 10 chromosomes each.
