Question

In____ reproducing organisms, meiosis produces___ daughter cells that contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In females, meiosis leads to ___ fells and ___ cells in males. When these sex cells combine during __. The chromosome number of resulting zygote will double, the same as the number found in the organisms body cells.

Answer 1

Meiosis in sexually reproducing organisms results in four haploid daughter cells with half the chromosomes, forming one egg in females and four sperm in males, which upon fertilization restore the diploid chromosome number in the zygote.

Step-by-step explanation:

In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis produces four daughter cells that contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In females, meiosis leads to one egg and three polar bodies, and four sperm cells in males. When these sex cells combine during fertilization, the chromosome number of the resulting zygote will double, the same as the number found in the organism's body cells.

Answer 2

In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis produces four(4) daughter cells that contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In females, meiosis leads to egg cells and sperm cells in males. When these sex cells combine during fertilization, the chromosome number of resulting zygote will double, the same as the number found in the organisms body cells.
