Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Meiosis will start with one cell with a full set of chromosomes and end with ____
A
4 cells, each with half the amount of chromosomes
B
4 cells, each with full set of chromosomes
C
2 cells, each with half the amount of chromosomes
D
2 cells, each with full set of chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -However, Meiosis I begins with one diploid parent cell and ends with two haploid daughter cells, halving the number of chromosomes in each cell. Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number to half. Hence, if daughter cells have 4 chromosome, the original parent or mother cell must have 8 chromosomes. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-3: -At the beginning of meiosis I, a human cell contains 46 chromosomes, or 92 chromatids (the same number as during mitosis). Meiosis I proceeds through the following phases: Prophase I: Prophase I is similar in some ways to prophase in mitosis.
