Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many daughter cells are produced during meiosis? Are the diploid or haploid?
A
2; diploid
B
2; haploid
C
4; diploid
D
4; haploid
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: -Meiosis is the production of four genetically diverse haploid daughter cells from one diploid parent cell. Meiosis can only occur in eukaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -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.
