Meiosis does not occur in reproductive cells.
|
|
|
The cells produced at the end are identical
|
|
|
the cells produced at the end contain half the # of chromosomes
|
|
|
cells divide only once during meiosis

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Which statement correctly describes the end products of meiosis? The end products of meiosis are four gametes, each of which has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -The statement that best describes meiosis is C. separation of sister chromatids.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The four cells that are produced at the end of meiosis are haploid and genetically unique. Haploid means that each cell only has one copy of each of the chromosomes. This is in contrast to body cells, which are diploid meaning they have two copies of each chromosome.
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.
