If a parent cell has 24 chromosomes and goes through meiosis, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have

Jaeden Miranda · Answer 1

The daughter cells would have 12 each

Rudy Washington · Answer 2

Because there are two rounds of division without duplication in between, the genetic content is cut in half. Each of the 4 daughter cells will only end up with half of the genetic content of the parent cell. Therefore, after meiosis, the daughter cells would have only 12 chromosomes each.
