In an organism, if the normal diploid number of chromosmes is 8, how many chromatids are present in each daughter cell at the end of meiosis I

Options

A. 2
B. 4
C. 8
D. 16

Answer

C

Explanation

If no. of chromosomes = 8
No. of chromatids = `16 = 2 xx 8`
In meiosis I the chromosome separate and move towards opposite pole
Now, no. of chromosome in each = 4 daughter cell
No. of chromatid `= 4 xx 2 = 8 ` .
