Are haploid

Detailed explanation-1: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of meiosis I, two haploid cells (where each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids) are produced.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cells that enter meiosis II are the ones made in meiosis I. These cells are haploid-have just one chromosome from each homologue pair-but their chromosomes still consist of two sister chromatids. In meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate, making haploid cells with non-duplicated chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Telophase I: Newly forming cells are haploid, n = 2. Each chromosome still has two sister chromatids, but the chromatids of each chromosome are no longer identical to each other.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The ploidy number of DNA at the end of meiosis I is 2N and at the end of meiosis II it is 1N. Prior to meiosis, the cell duplicates its DNA during DNA replication. Since normal human cells start out as 2N, after replication the cells have a ploidy number of 4N.
