Question

This fly has 14 chromosomes in its cells.7 maternal chromosomes and 7 paternal chromosomes.Assume you are a microscopist viewing this fly cells that are undergoing meiosis. Conclude the number of chromosomes/chromatids at the end of meiosis 1 as well at the end of meiosis 2

Answer 1

Answer:

23 pairs in meiosis 1 and 23 numbers in meiosis 2.

Explanation:

There are diploid number of chromosomes means double number of chromosomes at the end of meiosis 1 while on the other hand, at the end of meiosis 2, there are haploid number of chromosome means half number of chromosomes in each daughter cell. In humans meiosis 1, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes that is diploid in nature but in the end of meiosis 2, there are only 23 chromosomes in each daughter cell which is haploid in nature.
