Question 15 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A

Which definition correctly describes a haploid cell during meiosis?

Answer
A
a cell that has double the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
B
a cell that has two complete sets of chromosomes
C
a cell that has half the number of chromosomes as the daughter cell
D
a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes

Explanation

A haploid cell has one complete set of chromosomes, which is half the number found in a diploid cell. During meiosis, cells become haploid when the chromosome number is reduced. Therefore, the correct definition is “a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes.”
