MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of cells are produced as a result of Meiosis?
A
four diploid cells
B
two diploid cells
C
four haploid cells
D
two 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: -During meiosis, a diploid germ cell undergoes two cell divisions to produce four haploid gamete cells (e.g., egg or sperm cells), which are genetically distinct from the original parent cell and contain half as many chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -During meiosis one cell? divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes? of the parent cell – they are haploid. Meiosis produces our sex cells or gametes? (eggs in females and sperm in males).
