Is the final result of meiosis haploid of diploid?
A
diploid
B
haploid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
