Question

what is the end result of meiosis?
four identical daughter cells
four different daughter cells
two identical daughter cells
two different daughter 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). During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up, exchange genetic material (crossing - over), and then separate. This leads to genetic recombination. In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate. As a result of these processes, four daughter cells are produced. Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Also, due to crossing - over and independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis I, the four daughter cells are genetically different from each other and from the parent cell.

Answer:

four different daughter cells
