CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False The cells produced at the end of meiosis are genetically identical to the parent cell
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The gametes produced in meiosis are all haploid, but they’re not genetically identical.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as compared to their parents (one copy of each chromosome). The resulting cells from meiosis are not genetically identical because of the recombination of genes that occurred during prophase 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -During meiosis, the parent cell is reduced into half the number of chromosomes. It results in the production of four haploid cells, and they are not genetically identical.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis also differs from mitosis in that it involves a process known as recombination, during which chromosomes exchange segments with one another. As a result, the gametes produced during meiosis are genetically unique.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike the sister chromatids in mitosis, the sister chromatids in meiosis are not genetically identical due to crossing over. Telophase II: During telophase II, cell division begins again in each of the two daughter cells, creating 4 daughter cells.
