Question

question 2 of 5
the first meiotic division results in________cells, and the second meiotic division results in________cells.
2 diploid/4 haploid
2 haploid/4 haploid
1 diploid/4 haploid
4 haploid/4 haploid

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division. In the first meiotic division (meiosis I), a diploid cell divides to form two haploid cells (reductional division). In the second meiotic division (meiosis II), each of the two haploid cells from meiosis I divides further, resulting in a total of four haploid cells (equational division similar to mitosis in terms of chromatid separation).

Answer:

B. 2 haploid/4 haploid
