Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During cell division, a cell with 4 chromosomes will make 2 daughter cells, each containing
A
2 chromosomes
B
4 chromosomes
C
8 chromosomes
D
0 chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Per division, mitosis produces two daughter cells. 16 cells are formed during the third division, while 32 cells are created during the fourth division.
