If a eukaryotic cell has 20 chromosomes and it undergoes meiosis, how many cells will result, and how many chromosomes will they contain

Respuesta :

4 cells will result. Each cell will have 20 Chromatids which is half a chromosome. once sexual reproduction takes place, these 20 chromatids will match with those from the other parent cell to form chromosomes 

Upon undergoing meiosis the result will be that 4 cells are formed and each one will have 10 chromosomes in it as genetic material.

What is meiosis?

Meiosis is one of the two types of cell division in which a cell divides to form 4 daughter cells. The genetic content that is passed on to each daughter cell is half of that present in the parent. That is the reason for meiosis also to be called 'reductional division'.

The complete meiosis is accomplished in two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is similar to the mitotic division.
