meiosis occur in two phases in the first phase DNA replication occur and amount of DNA becomes doubled without any changes in the chromosomes number and two daughter cells( each 2n) are formed
now in stage 2 each daughter cell undergoes mitosis with the formation of two cells each with half chromosomes (n)
now 2n =32
n=32/2=16
after meiosis stage 1 ........ two daughter cell each with 32 chromosomes
stage 2.... each daughter cell form two grand daughter cell each with 16 chromosomes
Genetic conditions such as trisomy (three chromosomes) or monosomy (only one chromosome). They can also determine the fetus' gender by looking at the XY / XX chromosomes.
