Describe the main differences beA human cell has 46 chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, there are two cells, each with 46 chromo
somes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between both cells. Which statement describes meiosis in a human cell?
At the end of meiosis, there are two cells, each with 46 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between both cells.
At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between the four cells.
At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 46 chromosomes, for a total of 184 chromosomes split between the four cells.
At the end of meiosis, there are two cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 184 chromosomes split between both cells. tween meiosis and mitosis.
At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between the four cells.
Explanation:
During meiosis, a diploid cell (46 chromosomes) replicates its DNA (making 92 chromosomes) then undergoes two cell divisions to generate four haploid cells (23 chromosomes).
These haploid cells are the gametes which, during fertilization, fuse to become a zygote with 46 chromosomes.
