Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
At the end of Meiosis II you have made ____ gametes.
A
4 haploid
B
4 daploid
C
4 suploid
D
4 chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During meiosis II, the sister chromatids within the two daughter cells separate, forming four new haploid gametes. The mechanics of meiosis II is similar to mitosis, except that each dividing cell has only one set of homologous chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -After meiosis II, when each parent cell gets divided into two gametes each gamete cell contains 23 chromosomes. In this phase, each gamete remains haploid in nature. At the end of meiosis II, each cell will have the half number of the actual chromosome i.e. 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
