how many chromosomes do human cells that result from meiotic cell division contain?
605555
In humans, the reduction division results in two sperm cells each with 23 chromosomes or an egg cell with 23 chromosomes and one discarded polar body. The second division – or meiosis II – is called equational division.

Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes consisting of two sets of 22 homologous chromosomes and a pair of nonhomologous sex chromosomes. This is the 2n, or diploid, state. Human gametes have 23 chromosomes or one complete set of chromosomes. This is the n, or haploid, state.

In humans, meiosis is the process by which sperm cells and egg cells are produced. In the male, meiosis takes place after puberty. Diploid cells within the testes undergo meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells with 23 chromosomes. A single diploid cell yields four haploid sperm cells through meiosis.

Human oocytes pack the mother's DNA into 46 chromosomes. When they divide into eggs -- a process called meiosis -- these 46 chromosomes gather along the midline of the oocyte and are pulled in two directions by spindle fibers. The final product of meiosis is an egg cell with 23 chromosomes.

Mitosis is normal cell division. The cell will create a copy of it's DNA, resulting in 92 chromosomes temporarily in one cell, which will then split, creating two cells with 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes in them. If the cell then undergoes meiosis, it will be left with 23 chromosomes, unpaired.
38276
After mitosis two identical cells are created with the same original number of chromosomes, 46. Haploid cells that are generated through meiosis, such as egg and sperm, only have 23 chromosomes, because, remember, meiosis is a "reduction division."
47337
The process of meiosis involves two divisions of the genetic material. The first division is called the reduction division – or meiosis I – because it reduces the number of chromosomes from 46 chromosomes or 2n to 23 chromosomes or n (n describes a single chromosome set).

*Meiosis results in the formation of gametes. Fertilization results in the formation of a zygote. All of the cells in the body, except for sperm and eggs, have 46 chromosomes.
274229
Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. ... The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.
183613
How many cells are produced after mitosis? Two, each diploid (2n) and genetically identical to the parent cell. How many cells are produced after meiosis? Four, each haploid (n) containing half as many chromosomes as the parent cell; genetically different from the parent cell and from each other.

Almost every cell in our body contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Half of the chromosomes come from our mother, and the other half come from our father. The first 22 pairs are called autosomes.
989132
Germ cells contain a complete set of 46 chromosomes (23 maternal chromosomes and 23 paternal chromosomes). By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes.
106145
In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females.
1181489
Every human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46 (aside from sperm and egg cells, which each contain only 23 chromosomes).

Recall that there are two divisions during meiosis: meiosis I and meiosis II. The genetic material of the cell is duplicated during S phase of interphase just as it was with mitosis resulting in 46 chromosomes and 92 chromatids during Prophase I and Metaphase I.

Human diploid cells have 46 chromosomes (the somatic number, 2n) and human haploid gametes (egg and sperm) have 23 chromosomes (n).
