At the end of meiosis, there are FOUR cells with HALF the amount of DNA.
Meiosis is a kind of cell division that produces genetically different daughter cells. Unlike mitosis, which produces genetically identical cells, meiosis goes through 2 divisions that leads to 4 daughter cells.
In meiosis, the parent cell first duplicates all its genetic material, just like what they do in mitosis. Then it divides, leading 2 genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis ends here, but in meiosis, the 2 cells divides themselves again, but without duplicating their DNA. This leads to the 4 daughter cells with only half of the number of chromosomes.
We call these cells haploid. They're usually common in gametes. For example, a normal body cell in human has 46 chromosome, but in the cells after meiosis, they only have 23.
Maybe by testing its density? Depending on what the object is, or what its made of, you might be able to hypothesize what sinks or what floats. Hope this helps! :)
