|
a. Meiosis is the type of nuclear division in which chromosome number is halved.
|
|
|
b. Each daughter cell is haploid and contains a unique combination of chromosomes.
|
|
|
c. Meiosis produces two daughter cells.
|
|
|
all of the above are correct.
|
|
|
a and b are correct.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Meiosis produces gametes that contain one complete haploid set of chromosomes’
Detailed explanation-2: -Correct answer: Meiosis is the process that creates gametes (eggs and sperm). The cell divides twice, creating 4 unique daughter cells that contain half (haploid) of the genetic information of the parent cell. Somatic cells are body cells and they are produced via mitosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -o, the correct statement is ‘In both mitosis and meiosis the replication of DNA and chromosomes occurs at the same stage.
Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis involves one duplication of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -So the correct option is “first division is reductional and second is equational".
