Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cells are formed by the division of existing cells. Four different cells are shown.Which cell is produced by meiosis?
A
Nerve cell
B
Sperm cell
C
Palisade cell
D
White blood cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis II halves the amount of genetic information in each chromosome of each cell. The end result is four daughter cells called haploid cells. Haploid cells only have one set of chromosomes-half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: It is because meiosis produces the cells which include half the Chromosomes count to that of parent cell. It produces female egg cell and hence when the 2 combine during the fertilization process the new cell produced has suitable Chromosomes count.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis I is a unique cell division that occurs only in germ cells; meiosis II is similar to a mitotic division. Before germ cells enter meiosis, they are generally diploid, meaning that they have two homologous copies of each chromosome.
