Question

after meiosis i __ cells are formed and after meiosis ii, a total of __ cells result

Explanation:

Step1: Recall meiosis process

Meiosis I is a reduction - division. One diploid cell divides into two haploid cells after meiosis I.

Step2: Recall meiosis II process

Meiosis II is similar to mitosis. Each of the two cells from meiosis I divides into two cells. So \(2\times2 = 4\) cells in total after meiosis II.

Answer:

A. \(2:4\)
