Question

How do the products of meiosis compared to the original cell?

Answer 1

the four cells that result from meiosis have half of the genetic material (chromosomes) of the original parent cell. the cells that result from meiosis are gametes and two gametes from two individuals combine to create the first cell of a new individual since each parents gamete only has had as much genetic material the new individual has a complete set

Answer 2

Meiosis is the type of cell division in which a parent cell divides into four daughter cells. Meiosis generally occurs in the gamete or sex cells. The haploid cells are produced by the meiosis.

The original cell is diploid that contains the chromosome number (2X). The original is divided into the four daughter cell. The daughter cells produced by the meiosis contains the half chromosome number as compared with original cell (X). The crossing over occurs in meiosis and the daughter cells are quite different from the original cells.
