Question

what occurs after cytokinesis is completed at the end of meiosis?
four haploid cells are formed.
two diploid cells are formed.
two haploid cells are formed.
four diploid cells are formed.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of gametes. Meiosis has two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II. After meiosis I, two haploid cells are formed. Then, meiosis II occurs. Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division where the cytoplasm divides. After cytokinesis is completed at the end of meiosis II, four haploid cells are formed. This is because each of the two haploid cells from meiosis I undergoes meiosis II (which is similar to mitosis in terms of the division process for each cell), and each of those two cells divides into two cells. So in total, \(2\times2 = 4\) haploid cells are produced. Diploid cells have the full set of chromosomes (\(2n\)), while haploid cells have half the set (\(n\)). Meiosis is for reducing the chromosome number to form gametes (which are haploid).

Answer:

Four haploid cells are formed.
