in humans, after telophase i and cytokinesis i in meiosis, how many chromatids are present in each of the resulting cells? 0 23 46 92
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall human chromosome number
Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) before meiosis.
Step2: Understand meiosis I
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate. After telophase I and cytokinesis I, each resulting cell has 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome at this stage still consists of 2 chromatids.
Step3: Calculate chromatid number
Since each of the 23 chromosomes has 2 chromatids, 23×2 = 46 chromatids in each cell.
Answer:
46
