Solution
The correct option is A 48
Meiosis occurs in two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate and the number of chromosomes in daughter cells get reduced to one half. This division is known as reduction division. During meiosis II, centromere splits and the chromosome number remains the same in the daughter cells and hence, meiosis II is known as equational division. If number of chromosomes in a cell after meiosis I is 48 then after meiosis II, the daughter cells will also have 48 chromosomes as because meiosis II is an equational division.
