Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.
