To summarize meiosis: the original parent cell has the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes, and the daughter cells at the end of meiosis II have the number of chromosomes. Meiosis is cell division in which the chromosome number does what?

To summarize mitosis: the nucleus in the parent cell has the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes, and the nuclei in the daughter cells also have the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes. Mitosis is cell division in which the chromosomes number remains the same.

What happens to the number of chromosomes during meiosis? The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells becomes double that of the parent cell. The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells remains the same as that of the parent cell. The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells becomes one-fourth that of the parent cell The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells becomes half that of the parent cell.

Mitosis for a haploid cell with just one chromosome: When cell division is complete, there should be 1 chromosome in each of the two daughter cells. Mitosis for a diploid cell with two copies of the same chromosome: How many replicated chromosomes are at the middle of the cell at metaphase? After cell division, how many chromosomes are in each of the daughter cells?
