Question

If the parent cell has a chromosome number of 2n = 6, what will be the chromosome number of the daughter cells?

A) 2n = 6
B) 2n = 9
C) n = 6
D) n = 3

Answer 1

The chromosome number of the daughter cells will be 'n = 3'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chromosome number of the parent cell is represented as 2n = 6, where 'n' stands for the number of individual chromosomes. In this case, the parent cell has 6 chromosomes. During meiosis, the parent cell undergoes two divisions resulting in the formation of four daughter cells. Each daughter cell will receive half of the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, the chromosome number of the daughter cells will be 'n = 3'.
