Question
what is the final outcome of meiosis in terms of the number of cells produced? 4 haploid cells 2 haploid cells 2 diploid cell 1 diploid cell
Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually - reproducing organisms. It involves two rounds of division, meiosis I and meiosis II. The starting cell is diploid (has two sets of chromosomes). After meiosis I, two haploid cells (with one set of chromosomes each) are formed. Then, each of these haploid cells undergoes meiosis II, which is similar to mitosis. As a result, each of the two haploid cells from meiosis I divides again, leading to a total of four haploid cells.
