Chromosome number of human meiocyte is:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 46

In diploid organisms, specialised cells called meiocytes (gamete mother cell) undergo meiosis. At the end of meiosis, only one set of chromosomes gets incorporated into each gamete. In humans, a meiocyte has a diploid number of chromosomes, which is 46. During meiosis, this number is reduced by half, resulting in gametes (sperm or egg cells) with 23 chromosomes each.
