Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis

Question 8 • Human Anatomy Hurley 2026

Cells are produced with only one copy of chromosomes during meiosis II so:

Answer
A
a daughter cell will have chromosomes from only one parent cell
B
chromosomes can multiply on their own once gametes combine
C
chromosomes can be mixed with chromosomes from another organism
D
chromosomes can increase with each stage of meiosis

Explanation

Meiosis II produces cells with one set of chromosomes, so each gamete has half the usual chromosome number. When gametes from two organisms join during fertilization, their chromosome sets combine and restore the usual number. Thus, chromosomes can be mixed with chromosomes from another organism; they do not multiply on their own.
