PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The above statement is true. Meiosis leads to the formation of gametes that have half the number of chromosomes as that of the mother cell.

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: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that is also called as reduction cell division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell. The number of chromosomes in human cells are 46. i.e, these are present in pairs of 23.

Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. 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-5: -In meiosis, a cell containing the diploid number of chromosomes is converted into four cells, each having the haploid number of chromosomes. In human cells undergoing meiosis, for instance, a cell containing 46 chromosomes yields four cells, each with 23 chromosomes.
