A cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells? How many daughter cells are produced? Are the daughter cells identical to one another or different from one another?

1.) In mitosis, a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells through the mitosis phases creating the same amount of chromosomes for each daughter cell as the parent cell.

2.) The parent cell divides to form the two daughter cells in cytokinesis.

3.) The daughter cells are direct replicas of the chromosomes in the parent cell unless there is a mutation in the DNA when it is being copying.

Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each having 40 chromosomes. These cells are genetically different due to independent assortment and recombination.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells, each containing half of the genetic material.

Meiosis generates genetically different daughter cells (gametes) due to two different processes:

Independent assortment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I.

Crossing over, also known as recombination. Crossing over is the interchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during prophase I.

In conclusion, meiosis produces 4 daughter cells each having 40 chromosomes. These cells are genetically different due to independent assortment and recombination.
