NEET BIOLOGY

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: -Haploid cells contain only one set of Chromosomes (n). Diploid, as the name indicates, contains two sets of chromosomes (2n). Haploid cells are formed by the process of meiosis. Diploid cells undergo mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition, in meiosis I, the chromosomal number is reduced from diploid (2n) to haploid (n) during this process. (See figure below, where meiosis I begins with a diploid (2n = 4) cell and ends with two haploid (n = 2) cells.)

Detailed explanation-4: -The chromatids reach the poles, and uncoil into thin threadlike chromatin. The nuclear membrane reforms from 2 diploid (2n) cells into 4 haploid (n) Daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.
