Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Each daughter cell ends up with the ____ number of ____ as the ____
A
chromosomes, parent cel, same
B
parent cell, same, chromosomes
C
same, daughter cell, chromosomes
D
same, chromosomes, parent cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids. The daughter cells now move in to the third and final phase of meiosis: meiosis II.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Step by step answer:Option A) After mitosis, the chromosome number of a daughter cell is doubled compared to that of parent cells. The parent cell has 23pairs of chromosomes (one set from mother and one set from father) i.e., 46 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell. Homologous pairs of cells are present in meiosis I and separate into chromosomes before meiosis II.
