Question 3 • First Semester Biology

Which describes the four cells that are produced at the end of meiosis?

Answer
A
identical haploid cells
B
genetically different diploid cells
C
genetically different haploid cells
D
identical diploid cells

Explanation

Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division and produces four cells, each with half the chromosome number of the original cell. Crossing over and the separation of chromosomes create genetic variation, so the cells are not identical. Therefore, the four cells are genetically different haploid cells.
