Question

how many chromosomes are produced by the first division during meiosis?
double the original
four additional
four times the original
none of the above

Explanation:

During the first division of meiosis (meiosis I), homologous chromosomes separate. The number of chromosomes in each daughter cell is half of the original diploid cell. For example, if the original cell has \(2n\) chromosomes (diploid), after meiosis I, each daughter cell has \(n\) chromosomes (haploid). It is not double, four additional, or four times the original. So the answer is none of the above.

Answer:

None of the above
