Answered By Madison L

Diploid means that this is the full chromosome set. Haploid would be 27. Chromatids are the single stranded chromosome, but this number can be the same as the chromosome number at certain stages.

Meiosis

-Prophase 1- start with1 cell. Each cell would be diploid, so would have 54 chromosomes, but they are homologous so there are 108 chromatids

-telophase 1- ends with 2 daughter cells at this part, they are haploid (27) but there are replicates of each chromosome so there are 54 chromatids

*at the end of meiosis 2 there are 4 cells that are completely haploid and there is 1 copy, so there are 27 chromosomes and 27 chromatids 

Mitosis

-telophase- 2 daughter cells are made that are clones of the parent, each cell has 54 chromosomes/chromatids.
