Question 2 • PMHS Biology I Q2

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 has double the number of chromosomes as the parent.
D
Haploid cells join to form an organism that is genetically identical to the parent.

Explanation

Meiosis produces haploid cells, each with half the usual number of chromosomes. When two haploid cells join during fertilization, their chromosomes combine to form an organism with a complete set. So the correct choice is “Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.”
