|
|
|
There are two cells.
|
|
|
The cells are haploid.
|
|
|
The chromosomes are paired up as homologues.
|
|
|
DNA is present as two sister chromatids joined at the centromere.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis II begins with the 2 haploid cells where each chromosome is made up of two connected sister chromatids. DNA replication does NOT occur at the beginning of meiosis II. The sister chromatids are separated, producing 4 genetically different haploid cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Which of the following is true about meiosis II? It results in the production of four haploid cells. Which of the following is true about prophase I? It involves pairing up of homologous chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution: Crossing over, an event of meiosis, takes place in meiosis I but not in meiosis II.
