Question

If a eukaryotic cell has 20 chromosomes and it undergoes meiosis ii, how many cells will result, and how many chromosomes will they contain?

Answer 1

Four cells and 10 chromosomes each. Before going through meiosis ii it has to go through meiosis i (homologous chromosomes separate) first to form two cells. Then both cells goes through meiosis ii (sister chromatids separate) to form two cells each. Therefore 4 cells.<span />
