The answer is 8 (anaphase 1), 8 (anaphase 2), 4 (metaphase 2).

Meiosis is a cell division which results in a reduction of the number of chromosomes in half and it consists of meiosis I and meiosis II.
Before meiosis I begins, the cell is diploid (2n) and there are 8 chromosomes. In anaphase I<span>, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells, and after that, there are 8 chromosomes and 16 chromatids. After telophase I, there are, however, <u>4 chromosomes that enter meiosis II</u>.
</span>
Meiosis II is similar to mitosis. So, in metaphase II there is the same number of chromosomes - 4 chromosomes. But, the chromosome number must double so in anaphase II there will be in total 8 chromosomes - 4 chromosomes at the one side of the cell and the 4 on the other side. After telophase II, there are 4 chromosomes.

vodka [1.7K]
Fungi release enzymes which in turn help in digesting external material. Then the fungi absorb that digested compound that is created by the enzyme. For example, <span>Cordyceps is a fungus that grow in the higher altitudes of the Himalayas and Tibetan plateau.  It is a fungal parasite that infects ants and other insects like caterpillars . It uses the carcass of the insect as food, shooting out medusa-like stems that yield spores, ready to infect another host.</span>

Lena [83]
“Paramecia have many organelles characteristic of all eukaryotes, such as the energy-generating mitochondria. However, the organism also contains some unique organelles. Under an external covering called the pellicle is a layer of somewhat firm cytoplasm called the ectoplasm.”
