A cell in prophase ii of meiosis has 12 chromosomes. how many chromosomes will be present in a cell from the same organism if it were in prophase of mitosis? prophase i of meiosis
It would have 24 chromosomes because the number of chromosomes in a cell involved in mitosis is diploid (full number of chromosomes) and in a cell involved in meiosis, the number is haploid (half the regular number of chromosomes).
