Question

An cell with a total of 6 chromosomes undergoes meiosis I and II and cytokinesis. After meiosis I and cytokinesis, there will be _______ chromosomes in the cell. After meiosis II and cytokinesis is complete, there will be _____ chromosomes in the cell.

Answer 1

After meiosis I and II with cytokinesis, there will be 3 chromosomes in the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

After meiosis I and cytokinesis, there will be 3 chromosomes in the cell. After meiosis II and cytokinesis, there will be 3 chromosomes in the cell.

Answer 2

During meiosis I and cytokinesis, there will be 3 chromosomes in the cell. After meiosis II and cytokinesis, there will be 3 chromosomes in the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

During meiosis I and cytokinesis, the cell undergoes division resulting in two daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, so there will be 3 chromosomes in each daughter cell.

After meiosis II and cytokinesis, each daughter cell from meiosis I further undergoes division. The sister chromatids within the daughter cells separate, resulting in four new haploid gametes. As a result, each gamete will have half the chromosomes of the parent cell, so there will be 3 chromosomes in each gamete.
