|
|
|
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: -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-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The number of chromosomes in human cells are 46. i.e, these are present in pairs of 23. These pairs break apart and get separated in meiosis I. Thus, each of the two daughter cells formed after first meiotic division have half the number of chromosomes, i.e., 23.
