Question

27
what is the result of the second round of division in process 2?
the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is double the
number in the daughter cells of process 1
the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is the same as th
number in the daughter cells of process 1
the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is a quarter of the
number in the daughter cells of process 1
the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is half of the
number in the daughter cells of process 1
clear all

Explanation:

Process 1 is mitosis, which results in daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Process 2 is meiosis. In the second round of meiosis (meiosis II), sister chromatids separate. The daughter cells of meiosis (after two rounds of division - meiosis I and meiosis II) have half the number of chromosomes compared to the parent cell (and also half the number compared to the daughter cells of mitosis, since mitosis daughter cells have the same number as the parent).

Answer:

The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is half of the number in the daughter cells of process 1.
