Question 4 • Biology

Which statement describes a process associated with meiosis?

Answer
A
Haploid cells join to form an organism that has half the number of chromosomes as the parent.
B
Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.
C
Haploid cells join to form an organism that is genetically identical to the parent.
D
Haploid cells join to form an organism that has double the number of chromosomes as the parent.

Explanation

Meiosis produces haploid cells, which contain half the usual number of chromosomes. When two haploid cells join during fertilization, their chromosome sets combine, restoring the complete number in the resulting organism. Therefore, the correct statement is that haploid cells join to form an organism with a complete set of chromosomes.
