Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of the meiotic cell division?
A
2 haploid daughter cells
B
2 diploid daughter cells
C
4 haploid daughter cells
D
4 diploid daughter cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the products of meiosis II are four haploid cells that contain a single copy of each chromosome. In mammals, the number of viable gametes obtained from meiosis differs between males and females. In males, four haploid spermatids of similar size are produced from each spermatogonium.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell. Each daughter cell is haploid, because it has half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -In telophase II, nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense. Cytokinesis splits the chromosome sets into new cells, forming the final products of meiosis: four haploid cells in which each chromosome has just one chromatid.

Detailed explanation-5: -In meiosis I, chromosomes in a diploid cell resegregate, producing four haploid daughter cells. It is this step in meiosis that generates genetic diversity.
