Question

which are produced as a result of meiosis?
○ zygotes
○ chromosomes
○ tetrads
○ gametes

Explanation:

• Zygotes are formed by the fusion of gametes (fertilization), not meiosis.
• Chromosomes are structures within cells; meiosis involves the division of cells to produce specific cells, not just producing chromosomes.
• Tetrads are formed during prophase I of meiosis as a pairing of homologous chromosomes, but they are a temporary structure in the process, not the end product.
• Gametes (sperm and egg cells in animals, for example) are produced through meiosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in haploid cells (gametes) that are used in sexual reproduction.

Answer:

D. gametes
