Question
after telophase ii of meiosis, the chromosomal makeup of each daughter cell is...
haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two daughter chromosomes.
diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single daughter chromosome.
diploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of two daughter chromosomes.
haploid, and the chromosomes are each composed of a single daughter chromosome.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half. Telophase II is the final stage of meiosis II. After meiosis I, the cells are haploid. In meiosis II, sister chromatids (which make up a chromosome composed of two daughter chromosomes in earlier stages like prophase II) separate. So after telophase II, the cells are haploid (as meiosis reduces chromosome number) and the chromosomes are each composed of a single daughter chromosome (since sister chromatids have separated).
