how many chromosomes are left after meiosis?
5523
The number of chromosomes is reduced from 46 (23 pairs) to 23 during the process of meiosis. Because they have only half the total chromosomes in a somatic cell, they are termed haploid (n). In a human egg or sperm, there are 23 chromosomes, one of which is an X or Y.

In humans (2n = 46), who have 23 pairs of chromosomes, the number of chromosomes remains unchanged from the beginning till the end of meiosis II (n = 23). Spindle fibers reform and attach to centromeres in prophase II.

At the end of meiosis-I, two daughter cells are formed having half the number of chromosomes present in diploid cell undergoing meiosis. Each daughter cell undergoes meiosis-II, producing two cells.

Normally, meiosis causes each parent to give 23 chromosomes to a pregnancy. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the union leads to a baby with 46 chromosomes.

During Interphase, the DNA is copied. Hence, there are 2 copies of one chromosome. This means that there are now 46 pairs of chromosome in the parent cell. However, during cytokinesis, the cell divides itself into two, meaning that each daughter cell are left with 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes.

Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell.

During meiosis, chromosomes are replicated once in S phase (just like mitosis) into sister chromatids, but the cell divides twice. As with mitosis, the first step in this process is DNA replication, so that each of the 46 chromosomes exists as a duplicated sister chromatid.

1 Answer. During meiosis 1, the parent cell with double the normal amount of chromosomes, splits into two diploid cells (have enough chromosomes to survive). During meiosis 2, the two diploid cells each split into two haploid cells (have half the amount of chromosomes to survive). Meiosis ends with four haploid cells.

In anaphase II, the sister chromatids present at the end of meiosis I are separated into 23 individual chromosomes.

Germ cells have only half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell one of each pair. The number of chromosomes is reduced from 46 (23 pairs) to 23 during the process of meiosis.

In meiosis, however, you start with a diploid cell that divides twice to produce four haploid cells. In other words a diploid cell that has 2n chromosomes produces four cells, each of which contains n chromosomes.

*the beginning of meiosis : 46 chromosomes and each chromosome has one chromatid. *Prophase I : 46 Chrms, & each chromosome has 2 chromatid. *Prophase II: 23 Chrms, each one has 2 chromatids. *Telophase II: 23 chrms, each one has 1 chromatids.

Meiosis takes place during gamete formation resulting in the formation of haploid gametes. If a cell has 24 chromosomes before cell division then daughter cell resulting from mitotic division will have 24 chromosomes while daughter cell resulting from the meiotic division will contain 12 chromosomes each.

At the beginning of meiosis I, a human cell contains 46 chromosomes, or 92 chromatids (the same number as during mitosis).

The purpose of meiosis is to shuffle genetic information and cut the cellular chromosome number in half, from 46 chromosomes to 23 chromosomes. In this way, when an egg and sperm cell combine during fertilization, the resulting embryo will inherit the appropriate amount of unique genetic information from each parent.

However, the primary function of meiosis is the reduction of the ploidy (number of chromosomes) of the gametes from diploid (2n, or two sets of 23 chromosomes) to haploid (1n or one set of 23 chromosomes).

During meiosis one cell? divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell – they are haploid.
