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

Detailed explanation-1: -Finally, during telophase II, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclear membranes. Cytokinesis follows, dividing the cytoplasm of the two cells. 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: -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-3: -The end result of meiosis is ALWAYS haploid cells. In plants, the pollen grain and ovules have the male and female gametes respectively, which have been produced as a result of meiosis.
