Question

question 5
meiotic cell division has two steps, called meiosis i and meiosis ii.
which of the following is correct about each step?
and that is how meiosis works
a at the end of meiosis i one diploid cell has remained one diploid cell, and at the end of meiosis ii one diploid cell has become two haploid cells.
b at the end of meiosis i one diploid cell has become two haploid cells, and at the end of meiosis ii two haploid cells have become four haploid cells.
c at the end of meiosis i one haploid cell has remained one haploid cell, and at the end of meiosis ii one haploid cell have become two diploid cells.
d at the end of meiosis i one haploid cell has become two diploid cells, and at the end of meiosis ii two diploid cells have become four haploid cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis I starts with a diploid cell (a cell with two sets of chromosomes). During Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate. So, at the end of Meiosis I, one diploid cell becomes two haploid cells (cells with one set of chromosomes). Then, in Meiosis II, which is similar to mitosis, sister chromatids separate. So, each of the two haploid cells from Meiosis I divides further, and at the end of Meiosis II, two haploid cells become four haploid cells.

Answer:

B. At the end of Meiosis I one diploid cell has become two haploid cells, and at the end of Meiosis II two haploid cells have become four haploid cells.
