How many cells are created during Telophase II?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Followed by cytokinesis, telophase II marks the end of meiosis. Four haploid daughter cells are formed as a result.

Detailed explanation-2: -Figure 7: Telophase II results in the production of four daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -During telophase, the chromosomes begin to decondense, the spindle breaks down, and the nuclear membranes and nucleoli re-form. The cytoplasm of the mother cell divides to form two daughter cells, each containing the same number and kind of chromosomes as the mother cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell. Homologous pairs of cells are present in meiosis I and separate into chromosomes before meiosis II.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells.
