In humans, the 4 daughter cells of meiosis contain
|
46 chromosomes
|
|
23 chromosomes
|
|
92 chromosomes
|
|
No chromosomes
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -23 chromosomes are present in the human cell during meiosis. A typical diploid human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes; 46 total, half of maternal origin and half of paternal origin. Meiosis produces haploid gametes with one set of 23 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis in humans produces 4 daughter cells that are haploid. Therefore, the daughter cells will have 23 chromosomes each.
Detailed explanation-3: -The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation. It is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half-from 46 to 23-to form sperm and egg cells.
