Q. In meiosis, the chromosome number

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

During meiosis, the chromosome number gets reduced by half. Thus, it leads to the production of haploid daughter cells. The sperm and the egg are haploid cells and when they fuse during fertilisation, they produce a diploid cell called zygote.
