2. Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis)have 30 chromosomes in their somatic cells. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have the final step of meiosis? Enter your answer in the box. Your answer must be a whole number. square

## Step 1The problem involves understanding the process of meiosis, a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. This process is used to produce gametes (sex cells) for sexual reproduction.## Step 2In the case of giraffes, which have 30 chromosomes in their somatic (body) cells, each daughter cell produced in the final step of meiosis will have half of this number.## Step 3To find the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell, we divide the total number of chromosomes in a giraffe's somatic cell by 2.###
