How many chromosomes are present right after meiosis 1?

After meiOSis I, each daughter cell contains half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, but each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids. In humans, for example, the original diploid cell has 46 chromosomes, so after meiOSis I, each of the two resulting haploid cells will have 23 chromosomes, each still in the form of a duplicated structure.
