Question

During meiosis I, the number, of chromosomes is

• A. Doubled
• B. Tripled C
• C. Quadrupled
• D. Halved

Answer 1

The correct option is D Halved

Meiosis is a special type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.In humans (2n = 46), who have 23 pairs of chromosomes, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half at the end of meiosis I (n = 23).

So, the correct answer is 'Halved'.
