MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is formed at the end of meiosis?
A
2 diploid cells
B
2 haploid cells
C
4 diploid cells
D
4 haploid cells
Explanation: 

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: -Explanation: Meiosis involves two divisions and results in four unique daughter cells called gametes. Meiosis begins with one parent cell, after the first division there are two daughter cells, and then those each split, resulting in a total of four daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis II starts with two haploid parent cells and ends with four haploid daughter cells, maintaining the number of chromosomes in each cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is the process by which replicated chromosomes undergo two nuclear divisions to produce four haploid cells, also called meiocytes (sperms and eggs).

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
