Answer :
Final answer:
The correct option is b) 59. In the case of 2n = 118, during metaphase II of meiosis II, each cell will have 59 chromosomes.
Explanation:
The correct option is b) 59. If 2n = 118, this indicates that the organism is diploid with 118 chromosomes in its somatic cells. During meiosis II, specifically in metaphase II, the cells are in the haploid state. Therefore, each cell will have half the number of chromosomes compared to the diploid number. So, during metaphase II of meiosis II, cells will have n = 59 chromosomes per cell.
