Question

How many chromosomes are present at the end of meiosis 2?

Answer 1

Meiosis II:

1. Meiosis refers to a cell division in which a single cell divides twice to form four cells.
2. There are two stages in meiotic cell division including meiosis I and meiosis II.
3. Chromosomes get divided in each cell during meiosis.
4. The parent cell remains diploid in nature( 46 chromosomes in each cell) after meiosis I.
5. After meiosis II, when each parent cell gets divided into two gametes each gamete cell contains 23 chromosomes.
6. In this phase, each gamete remains haploid in nature.
7. At the end of meiosis II, each cell will have the half number of the actual chromosome i.e. 23 chromosomes.
