a diploid cell that enters meiosis with 16 chromosomes will pass through cell divisions, producing daughter cells, each with chromosomes

4 # 16 # 2 # 12 # 8 # 1

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually - reproducing organisms. It consists of two rounds of cell division: meiosis I and meiosis II. So, a diploid cell entering meiosis will pass through 2 cell divisions.
After meiosis, the number of daughter cells produced is 4. This is because in meiosis I, the diploid cell divides into two haploid cells, and then each of these haploid cells divides again in meiosis II.
The formula for the number of chromosomes in daughter cells after meiosis is \(n=\frac{N}{2}\), where \(N\) is the number of chromosomes in the diploid parent cell. Given \(N = 16\), then \(n=\frac{16}{2}=8\).

Answer:

2, 4, 8
