Or: there are 23 unique types of chromosome in your cells (remember, we are treating the sex chromosomes as the same for simplicity). After replication of the 46 chromosomes, the cell contains 92 chromatids (in 46 pairs). 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..
Someone did infact post the correct answer. The correct answer is that there are 92 chromosomes before meiosis, and after, there are 23 chromosomes in each sex cell produced. Before meiosis the ploidy is 2n and each chromosome is duplicated.The diploid number of humans is 46, and since the chromosomes are duplicated (doubled), the total number of chromosomes is 92. The ploidy of the sex cells produced is n, (haploid, which is 23 in humans) so there are 23 chromosomes per sex cell produced.omeone did infact post the correct answer.
