Question

What is the difference in the number of chromosomes found in each cell produced in meiosis compared with mitosis?

a-Cells produced during meiosis have half the number of chromosomes as cells produced in mitosis
b- Cells produced during mitosis have half the number of chromosomes as cells produced in meiosis.
c-Cells produced during meiosis have the same number of chromosomes as cells produced in mitosis.

Answer 1

The cells in our bodies contain 23 pairs of chromosomes - giving us 46 chromosomes in total. Sperm cells and egg cells contain 23 single chromosomes, half the normal number, and are made by a special form of cell division called meiosis. ... Meiosis II divides each chromosome into two copies (much like mitosis).
