meiosis, 4 haploid cells how?

Question

please tell me if this is correct.
in metaphase 1: there are 46 homologous chrmosomes(is this right? or 23 homologous chromosomes) then there are 23 homologous chromosomes= 46 chromatides at each pole in Anaphase 1. In Telophase 1 and Cytokinesis, there are 23 homologous pair of chromosomes or chromatids in each cell(2 cells). Then prophase II, there are two 23 homologous pair of chromosome in two cells to start out with (46 chromatids). then Metaphase II, the 23 homologous pair of chromosome separate chromatids to each pole, each pole having 23 chromatids. so this happens twice because of two cells. Now Telophase II, Cytokinesis there are 23 chromatids in each cell (4 cells) I assume that now since chromatids are separated they are now called chromosomes is this right? As a result we have 4 haploid cells. Do we have 4 haploid cells because in each cell there are 23 chromatids or 23 chromosomes?

Answer 1

Yes you are right. Whatever you have mentioned is correct.

Answer 2

U r right.Please accept each chromatid as a future chromosome , so 23 chromatids develop in to 23 chromosomes.


Rule of the thumb is chromosomes can divide in to two chromatids,but each chromatid develops or grows in to same number or one chromosome
If diploid is 46 the resultant 23 is haploid
