Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meiosis results in the production of four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In this case, since the parent cell has 28 chromosomes, each of the four daughter cells produced in meiosis would have 14 chromosomes. Therefore, the correct answer is D (14 chromosomes).

A Parent Cell Has 28 Chromosomes and Completes Meiosis
