Question

Which best describes a cell's DNA at the end of meiosis?

a. The DNA in each cell has been doubled.
b. The DNA in each cell has been reduced to half of
c. the usual amount.

Answer 1

The DNA in each cell has been reduced to half of the usual amount. Meiosis results in four haploid genetically unique daughter cells, each with half the DNA of the parent cell. So the correct answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The DNA in each cell has been reduced to half of the usual amount. After cytokinesis, each cell has divided again, resulting in four haploid genetically unique daughter cells, each with half the DNA of the parent cell. In human cells, the parent cell has 46 chromosomes, so the cells produced by meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
