Solution

The correct option is B 8
It is given that the diploid chromosome number is 8 (2n) . It contains 16 chromatids. Meiosis I starts with the diploid (2n) cells and ends with the haploid (n) daughter cells. Since, before meiosis I, the cell contains 16 (2n) chromatids, the number of chromatids in each daughter cell after meiosis I will be 8 (n).
Thus, the correct answer is '8.'
