MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After meiosis, there are ____ daughter cells that are genetically ____
A
2, identical
B
2, different
C
4, identical
D
4, different
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: -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 end result of meiosis is four haploid daughter cells that each contain different genetic information from each other and the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -During the interphase of meiosis, each chromosome is duplicated. In meiosis, there are two rounds of nuclear division resulting in four nuclei and usually four haploid daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
