If a parent cell has 18 chromosomes, each daughter cell following meiosis II will have ________ chromosomes
bogdanovich [222]

Meiosis II will have 18 chromosomes.

Meiosis:

  • Somatic cells divide during meiosis, a process in which the genetic makeup or quantity of chromosomes in the daughter cells is maintained.
  • In sexually reproducing organisms, a kind of cell division known as meiosis results in a decrease in the number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells, or egg and sperm). Human body cells, also known as somatic cells, have two sets of chromosomes and are diploid (one from each parent).
  • A single cell splits twice during the meiosis process, resulting in four cells with half the original genetic material. These cells—sperm in men and eggs in women—are our sex cells.
