Question

A cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells? How many daughter cells are produced? Are the daughter cells identical to one another or different from one another?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) 80 chromosomes in each of the daughter cells. 2.) Two daughter cells are produced. 3.) The daughter cells are identical.

Explanation:

1.) In mitosis, a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells through the mitosis phases creating the same amount of chromosomes for each daughter cell as the parent cell.

2.) The parent cell divides to form the two daughter cells in cytokinesis.

3.) The daughter cells are direct replicas of the chromosomes in the parent cell unless there is a mutation in the DNA when it is being copying.
