Which of the following statements correctly describes the chromosomes in each daughter cell at the end of meiosis I?

a)Each daughter cell contains 12 chromatids. Each chromatid is one of two from a single chromosome with the other one of the pair found in the other daughter cell.

b)Each daughter cell contains 12 chromosomes, each composed of two chromatids. Since the chromosomes were randomly divided, one daughter cell may contain both of a pair of homologous chromosomes, while the other cell contains both of another pair of homologous chromosomes

c)Each daughter cell contains 12 chromosomes, each composed of two chromatids. Each chromosome is one of a pair of homologous chromosomes from the parent cell, with the other homologue found in the other daughter cell.

d)Each daughter cell contains 24 separate chromatids. Since every two chromatids were originally joined, forming one homologous chromosome, the number of chromatids is divided by two to determine the number of chromosomes

PLS ANSWER !!

c) Each daughter cell contains 12 chromosomes, each composed of two chromatids. Each chromosome is one of a pair of homologous chromosomes from the parent cell, with the other homologue found in the other daughter cell.

Explanation:

Meiosis I divides by 2 for chromosome count in each daughter cell, so 24/2 = 12. Each chromosome has to be a pair of chromosomes from the parent cell, and this would best match answer choice C.

Meiosis I is a reduction division found in the germ cells. The correct option that describes meiosis I is:

Option C. Each daughter cell contains 12 chromosomes, each composed of two chromatids. Each chromosome is one pair of homologous chromosomes from the parent cell, with the other homologue found in the other daughter cell.

Meiosis I is a type of cell division in which diploid parent cell give rise to four haploid daughter cells. The meiotic division is a characteristic of germ cells. Some of the characteristics of meiosis I are:

The parent cell divides twice to give rise to four haploid daughter cells.
The number of chromosomes in daughter cells are half of the parent cell.
Meiotic division takes place in reproductive cells.

The daughter cells consist of 12 chromosomes that are composed of two chromatids. The chromosome in the daughter cell is a pair of homologous chromosome from the parent cell. the other homologue is found in the other daughter cell.

Therefore, the meiotic division give rise to four haploid daughter cells that consists of each chromosome from the homologues pair of parent cell.
