Which is the final product of meiosis?
A
two cells, each with half as many chomosomes as the parent cell.
B
four cells, each with the same number of chomosomes as the parent cell.
C
two cells, each with the same number of chomosomes as the parent cell.
D
four cells, each with half as many chomosomes as the parent cell.
E
Two cute babies named Juan and Chris
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. In humans, the products of meiosis are sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -During meiosis II, each cell containing 46 chromatids yields two cells, each with 23 chromosomes. Originally, there were two cells that underwent meiosis II; therefore, the result of meiosis II is four cells, each with 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase II and cytokinesis: This is the last phase of meiosis, however cell division is not complete without another round of cytokinesis. Once cytokinesis is complete there are four granddaughter cells, each with half a set of chromosomes (haploid): in males, these four cells are all sperm cells.

There is 1 question to complete.
