Meiosis results in ____
|
|
4 genetically distinct haploid gametes
|
|
|
2 genetically distinct cells
|
|
|
2 genetically identical cells
|
|
|
4 genetically identical cells
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, meiosis results in four haploid genetically unique daughter cells, each with half the DNA of the parent cell (Figure below). In human cells, the parent cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), so the cells produced by meiosis have 23 chromosomes. These cells will become gametes. An overview of meiosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis separates the two cells into four genetically unique haploid cells. At this point, the nuclei in the newly produced cells are both haploid and have only one copy of the single set of chromosomes.
