Question

what is true regarding the result of meiosis?
□ 2 identical daughter cells
□ new dna
□ identical offspring with a full genetic code
□ 4 genetically different daughter cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells. It involves two rounds of division, resulting in 4 daughter cells. These cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (haploid) and are genetically different from each other and the parent cell due to processes like crossing - over and independent assortment.

• "2 identical daughter cells" is a result of mitosis, not meiosis.
• Meiosis does not create "new DNA" in the sense of introducing new genetic material from non - parental sources in the way this option implies (DNA replication in meiosis is similar to that in mitosis, and genetic variation comes from recombination, not new DNA synthesis in a novel way).
• "Identical offspring with a full genetic code" is not a result of meiosis; meiosis produces gametes (sex cells) that are used in sexual reproduction to create genetically unique offspring.

Answer:

4 genetically different daughter cells
