Answer:

23 chromosomes

After meiosis II, when each parent cell gets divided into two gametes each gamete cell contains 23 chromosomes. In this phase, each gamete remains haploid in nature. At the end of meiosis II, each cell will have the half number of the actual chromosome i.e. 23 chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. The number of chromosomes that each of the new cells will have is c. 10 chromosomes each. Mitotic division results in two daughter cells with an identical chromosomal number and genetic content to the parental cell. Each daughter cell will have four chromosomes at the end of meiosis. The phase represented in the diagram is of Metaphase II of Meiosis II, during Anaphase II, sister chromatids are moved to opposite poles, with each pole/then the cell will have 4 chromatids/chromosomes.
