Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: At the beginning of meiosis, the dividing cell is diploid (2n). In this case, the cell contains 64 chromosomes. At the completion of meiosis I, the first round of meiosis, the resulting two daughter cells are haploid (n); they now contain 32 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Horse Sperm Cell Has A Haploid Number Of 32 Chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Counting chromosomes A horse has 64 chromosomes and a donkey has 62. A mule inherits 32 horse chromosomes from mom and 31 donkey chromosomes from dad, for a total of 63 chromosomes. To understand why this is a problem, we need to understand how sperm and eggs are made.
Detailed explanation-4: -The chromosome number of the domestic horse is 2n = 64; different races have the same complement.
Detailed explanation-5: -As the parent cell has 32 chromosomes, the daughter cells formed after meiosis-I will have 16 chromosomes.
