after meiosis 1 , explain what happened to the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells compared to the parent germ cell ( originally contained 46 chromosomes- diploid?
Madhur L.
Gametogenesis, or the formation of gametes, occurs when diploid germ cells undergo meiosis. In fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), diploid germ cells contain eight chromosomes. Which of the following correctly describes the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells produced during gametogenesis in fruit flies? The daughter cells each contain four chromosomes after meiosis I and four chromosomes after meiosis II. The daughter cells each contain eight chromosomes after meiosis I and eight chromosomes after meiosis II. The daughter cells each contain eight chromosomes after meiosis I and four chromosomes after meiosis II. The daughter cells each contain four chromosomes after meiosis I and two chromosomes after meiosis II.
