A diploid cell with 2n = 14 chromosomes undergoes the process meiosis. How many cells would be created after meiosis occurs and
how many chromosomes would each cell have? A. 2 cells each with 7 chromosomes
B. 2 cells each with 14 chromosomes
C. 4 cells each with 7 chromosomes
D. 4 cells each with 14 chromosomes
4 cells would be created after meiosis and each cell would have 7 chromosomes.
<h3>Meiosis</h3>
Meiosis is the division of non-vegetative cells. It is a reductional division during which the ploidy level of the parent cell is halved in the daughter cells.
Thus, a cell with 2n = 14 that undergoes meiosis will produce daughter cells with n = 7.
Usually, 4 daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis.
