Question

In the meiotic division, the second division is mitosis-like. How many daughter cells will be produced with what chromosome number after the second meiotic division?

Answer 1

Meiotic division:

The meiotic division is a reductional division in which the number of chromosomes present in daughter cells is half the number of chromosomes present in their parent cell.

1. It is the process of double division which occurs in the diploid nucleus of the organism cell.
2. A double division occurs in a diploid cell (nucleus) and after the second meiotic division, it gives rise to four haploid cells (daughter cells) each having half the number of chromosomes as compared to the parent cell.
