|
|
|
cells divide only once
|
|
|
meiosis does not occur in reproductive cells
|
|
|
the cells produced at the end of meiosis are genetically identical to the parent cell
|
|
|
The cells produced at the end of meiosis contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
|
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Meiosis produces gametes that contain one complete haploid set of chromosomes’
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: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Meiosis is used to reduce the number of chromosomes to half in the daughter cells. It occurs only in germinal cells and consists of two stages-meiosis I and meiosis II.
