Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Meiosis produces gametes that contain one complete haploid set of chromosomes’
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is the process by which a haploid cell is formed from a diploid cell. The difference between haploid cells and diploid cells is that haploid cells contain one complete set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells contain two complete sets of chromosomes. Meiosis involves the division of a diploid (2n) parent cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis produces cells that have a haploid chromosome number. Meiosis involves only one cell division event. Meiosis is how most cells in the body divide. Meiosis leads to the production of genetically identical cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the Incorrect statement with respect to meiosis is ‘Meiosis involves the pairing of non-homologous chromosomes and recombination between them.
Detailed explanation-5: -The purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes, or sex cells. During meiosis, four daughter cells are produced, each of which are haploid (containing half as many chromosomes as the parent cell).
