Question

Which of the following best describes the final result of meiosis?

two haploid cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
four haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
two diploid cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
four diploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

Answer 1

Answer: Four haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

Explanation: The process of meiosis results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.
