Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two daughter cells are formed in mitosis and four daughter cells in meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Meiosis Cell Cycle Meiosis II halves the amount of genetic information in each chromosome of each cell. The end result is four daughter cells called haploid cells. Haploid cells only have one set of chromosomes-half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.
