Question

Two reproductive cells undergo meiosis. Each daughter cell undergoes meiosis. How many cells are produced when the daughter cells divide

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 32 cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the meiosis type of cell cycle or cell division, a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells, unlike mitosis. Meiosis takes place in the reproductive or sex cell and called reduction division.

As we know each cell divide into four daughter cells.

1 reproductive cell = 4 daughter cells

2 reproductive cell = 8 daughter cells

Now each daughter cell undergo meiosis than each cell will produce 4 cells so,

8 daughter cells will produce:

8 *4 = 32 cells.

Thus, the correct answer is - 32 cells.
