Question: in humans how many chromosomes are present in each cell at the end of meiosis i?
Answer: Germ cells have only half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell   one of each pair. The number of chromosomes is reduced from 46 (23 pairs) to 23 during the process of meiosis. Because they have only half the total chromosomes in a somatic cell, they are termed haploid (n).
