MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Name this Phase of Meiosis-Nuclear membrane reforms, cytoplasm divides, 4 cells are formed.
A
Cytokinesis
B
Interphase
C
Telophase 2
D
Telophase 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telophase 2:This stage is similar to the telophase 1 stage in Meiosis 1. Here, the chromosomes decondense, the nuclear membrane reforms and cell plate formation creates four haploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase II: The cells pinch in the center and divide again. The final outcome is four cells, each with half of the genetic material found in the original. In the case of males, each cell becomes a sperm. In the case of females, one cell becomes an egg and the other three become polar bodies which are not used.

Detailed explanation-3: -In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is split in two, making two new cells. Cytokinesis usually begins just as mitosis is ending, with a little overlap. Importantly, cytokinesis takes place differently in animal and plant cells. Cytokinesis in animal and plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -In telophase II, nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense. Cytokinesis splits the chromosome sets into new cells, forming the final products of meiosis: four haploid cells in which each chromosome has just one chromatid.
