Question

question 18 4 pts 18) the product of meiosis is: two haploid cells four haploid cells two diploid cells four diploid cells

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually - reproducing organisms. It involves two rounds of division, meiosis I and meiosis II.

  • Meiosis I: It is a reductional division. The diploid (2n) parent cell divides into two haploid (n) cells. Homologous chromosomes pair up, exchange genetic material (crossing - over), and then separate.
  • Meiosis II: It is similar to mitosis. The two haploid cells from meiosis I further divide, resulting in a total of four haploid cells. Each of these four cells has half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell.

Answer:

Four haploid cells
