If a cell has 32 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid state, how many chromosomes will it have after Meiosis 1? A. 8 B. 64 C. 32 D. 16

A cell with 32 pairs of chromosomes will have 32 chromosomes after meiosis I

WHAT IS MEIOSIS?

The actual reduction in chromosome number takes place in meiosis I. Hence, a cell with 32 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 64 chromosomes will have (64 ÷ 2) = 32 chromosomes after meiosis I.

option c is correct that is 32

Explanation:

meiosis occur in two phases in the first phase DNA replication occur and amount of DNA becomes doubled without any changes in the chromosomes number and two daughter cells( each 2n) are formed

now in stage 2 each daughter cell undergoes mitosis with the formation of two cells  each with half chromosomes (n)

now 2n =32

n=32/2=16

after meiosis stage 1 ........ two daughter cell each with 32 chromosomes  

stage 2.... each daughter cell form two grand daughter cell each with 16 chromosomes

the statement is true
