Question

how many sperm cells are formed from an original cell in a drosophila fruit fly at the conclusion of meiosis?
○ a. two haploid sperm cells
○ b. two diploid sperm cells
○ c. four haploid sperm cells
○ d. four diploid sperm cells

Explanation:

During meiosis in a fruit fly (Drosophila), one original diploid cell undergoes two rounds of division (meiosis I and meiosis II). In meiosis I, the diploid cell divides into two haploid cells. Then, in meiosis II, each of those two haploid cells divides again. So in total, from one original diploid cell, four haploid sperm cells are formed.

Answer:

C. four haploid sperm cells
