Question

At the end of telophase I of meiosis and the first cytokinesis, there are _____.

A. four haploid cells
B. two diploid cells
C. four diploid cells
D. one haploid ovum and three polar bodies
E. two haploid cells

Answer 1

Answer: D, two haploid cells

Reasoning:
At the end of Meiosis we get 4 haploid cells. Meiosis is unique because unlike our somatic cells that undergo mitosis, cells that undergo meiosis start out as diploid and divide into haploid to allow for the inter mingling of other genetics from others.

All cells that undergo mitosis are and stay diploid, meiosis is the only cell division that makes haploids.
