Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis

Question 12 • Human Anatomy Hurley 2026

Which of the following statements about meiosis is correct?

Answer
A
Two parent cells divide into four daughter cells during meiosis II.
B
One gamete divides into two parent cells during meiosis II.
C
Meiosis I creates cells with one set of chromosomes, while meiosis II creates cells with two sets.
D
No daughter cells are created during meiosis II.

Explanation

Meiosis I produces two cells, each with one set of chromosomes. During meiosis II, both of those cells divide again, producing four daughter cells in total. So the statement that two cells divide into four daughter cells during meiosis II is correct. Meiosis II does not restore a second set of chromosomes, as choice C claims.
