Question

question 3
meiosis is the division of the nucleus that results in ____________ daughter cells.
none of the answer choices are correct.
2 diploid
4 diploid
2 haploid
4 haploid

Explanation:

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, the number of chromosomes is halved (haploid), and after meiosis II (which is similar to mitosis in terms of the process of separating sister chromatids), we end up with four daughter cells. Each of these daughter cells has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (haploid). In contrast, mitosis results in two diploid daughter cells.

Answer:

4 haploid
