Question

Considering the steps of meiosis, identify the correct number of chromosomes present at the beginning of meiosis I, interkinesis, and in the daughter cells at the end of meiosis II.

92, 46, 23


92, 46, 46


46, 23, 12


46, 92, 23

Answer 1

answer : 46, 23, 23.


Step by step explanation:

At the beginning of meiosis I, there are 46 chromosomes, which are in the form of 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. During meiosis I, these homologous pairs separate, resulting in two daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes.

During interkinesis, the cell undergoes a period of rest, and the chromosomes partially uncoil. At the end of interkinesis, the cell enters meiosis II.

During meiosis II, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, resulting in four daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes. So, the correct number of chromosomes present in the daughter cells at the end of meiosis II is 23.
