Detailed explanation-1: -Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -If a cell has 30 chromosomes before mitosis, each daughter cell also has 30 chromosomes. Mitosis is the process of cell division and makes two identical daughter cells from one parent cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -If an organism has 15 pairs of homologous chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis and meiosis? Solution : If a cell has 15 pairs chromosomes (n=15), it has 30 chromosomes (2n=30). At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cell will be exact copies of the original cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Egg and sperm cells have just 23 chromosomes each. That’s half as many chromosomes as regular cells. Through the process of fertilization, egg and sperm join to make a cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), called a zygote.
