Answer #1

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

  • Meiosis is also known as reduction division.
  • This denotes that diploid (2n) is reduced to haploid (n).
  • Parental cell is diploid which has 12 chromosome. This is known as 2n.
  • Now we need the value of "n" to obtain haploid condition. So 2n / 2 = n.
  • 12 chromosome / 2 = 6 chromosome [after meiosis].
