Question

The number of daughter cells formed at the end of meiosis from a cell are:

• A. 2 Haploid cells
• B. 2 Diploid cells
• C. 4 Haploid cells
• D. 4 Diploid cells

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

• Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes present in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells.
• This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
• Meiosis begins with a parent cell that is diploid, meaning it has two copies of each chromosome. The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear and cytoplasmic division.
• The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

So, the correct option is '4 Haploid cells'.
