Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Products formed at the end of meiosis are,
A
2 genetically identical cells
B
4 genetically identical cells
C
2 genetically different cells
D
4 genetically different cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The crossed over chromosomes are then segregated into the four haploid cells produced at the end of meiosis. Hence, the four haploid cells are genetically dissimilar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
