Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many cells are produced at the end of meiosis?
A
2 diploid cells
B
4 haploid cells
C
4 diploid cells
D
2 haploid cells
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. Meiosis has both similarities to and differences from mitosis, which is a cell division process in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes, or sex cells. During meiosis, four daughter cells are produced, each of which are haploid (containing half as many chromosomes as the parent cell).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
