Detailed explanation-1: -If a cell has 15 pairs of chromosomes (n = 15), it has 30 chromosomes (2n = 30). At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, a cell beginning with 30 chromosomes will end up having daughter cells with only 15 chromosomes by the end of meiosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -so an animal with a diploid number of chromosomes equal to 30 will produce four gametes. Each gamete will contain 15 chromosomes due to meiosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: If a parent cell has 28 chromosomes and undergoes meiosis, the resulting cells will have (c) 14 chromosomes. Meiosis is a cell division process that produces four daughter cells after two consecutive cell divisions (meiosis I followed by meiosis II).
