A cell with a diploid number of 20 will have how many chromosomes at the end of meiosis?Multiple choice question.5102040

The correct answer is 10.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

1. A cell with a diploid number of 20 means it has 20 chromosomes in its nucleus. The diploid number represents the total number of chromosomes that a cell has, which is a combination of both sets of homologous chromosomes from each parent.

2. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. It is how sex cells (sperm and egg) are produced.

3. So, if we start with a cell with a diploid number of 20, at the end of meiosis, each of the four daughter cells will have half of that number.

4. Therefore, each cell will have 20/2 = 10 chromosomes.
