Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Each of the newly formed cells has half the number of the parent cell’s chromosomes, but each chromosome is already replicated ready for the second meiotic cell division. This statement describe ____ stage of meiosis.

A	Anaphase I
B	Prophase II
C	Metaphase I
D	Telophase I

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaphase I This separation means that each of the daughter cells that results from meiosis I will have half the number of chromosomes of the original parent cell after interphase. Also, the sister chromatids in each chromosome still remain connected.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gametes contain half the chromosomes contained in normal diploid cells of the body, which are also known as somatic cells. Haploid gametes are produced during meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent diploid cell by half.
