Question 6 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

What is unique about the cells that are created at the end of meiosis II?

Answer
A
They contain half the genetic material of their mother cells, and they become gametes.
B
They contain half the genetic material of their mother cells, and they become gametes.
C
They contain twice the genetic material as their mother cells, and they become gametes.
D
They contain twice the genetic material as their mother cells, and they become gametes.
E
They contain twice the genetic material as their mother cells, and they become skin.
F
They contain twice the genetic material as their mother cells, and they become skin.
G
They contain half the genetic material of their mother cells, and they become skin cells.
H
They contain half the genetic material of their mother cells, and they become skin cells.

Explanation

Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, producing haploid cells. At the end of meiosis II, those cells become gametes, such as sperm or eggs. Therefore, the correct choice is “They contain half the genetic material of their mother cells, and they become gametes.”
