Question

42/63
after meiosis ii, which of the following is true about the cells that
are produced?
four cells are produced. each is unique and contains the same
number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.
four cells are produced. each is unique and contains half the
number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.
four cells are produced. they are identical to each other and each
contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.
two cells are produced. each is unique and contains the same
number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, reducing the chromosome number by half. In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate. Crossing - over occurs during meiosis I, which leads to genetic variation among the daughter cells. So, after meiosis II, four cells are produced. Each is unique (due to crossing - over and independent assortment in meiosis I) and contains half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell (because of chromosome separation in meiosis I).

Answer:

Four cells are produced. Each is unique and contains half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has.
