(B) In meiosis,the chromosome number is reduced to half after Meiosis-$I$.Prophase-$I$ is the initial stage of meiosis where the cell is diploid $(2n = 4)$.After Meiosis-$I$,each daughter cell receives half the number of chromosomes,i.e.,$n = 2$.During Anaphase-$II$,the sister chromatids separate. Although the amount of $DNA$ per cell is halved,the number of chromosomes remains the same as the number of chromosomes present at the start of Meiosis-$II$.Since the cells entering Meiosis-$II$ have $2$ chromosomes,each cell at the end of Anaphase-$II$ will still contain $2$ chromosomes.

List-$I$ (Phase of meiosis)	List-$II$ (Event that occurs)
$1$. Prophase $I$	Crossing over occurs
$2$. Metaphase $I$	Sister chromatids migrate to opposite poles
$3$. Anaphase $I$	Homologous chromosomes line up at the equator in pairs

If there are $4$ chromosomes present in Prophase-$I$,how many chromosomes will be present in each cell at the end of Anaphase-$II$?
